A ministry of The Salvation Army, Lawrence M. Daley Camp and Conference Center has been providing Christian summer camp experiences for up to 2000 children since 1939. The center runs three distinct programs at its Malibu site: Camp Daley, Camp Gilmore, and Wilderness. Camp Daley provides a five-night residential camping experience for children ages 8–12, with weekly themes that include Jr. and Sr. Music Camps, SAY Camp, and a Musical Theater Camp. Gilmore offers seven different sessions of a five-night camping experience in the outdoors, with a focus on recreational and educational opportunities in a Christian atmosphere. Wilderness Camp is for teens 13–17 years old and includes hiking, mountain biking, rock climbing, and sleeping in tents, with a five-night program that focuses on spiritual growth, developing teamwork skills, and appreciation of the outdoor environment. Camp staff at Wilderness watch for medical or health concerns and do not require any camper to do something that would be harmful for them.
The Salvation Army describes its mission as preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ and meeting human needs in His name without discrimination. It states that every program offered at the camp is rooted in serving God by serving those described as lost, vulnerable, needy, poor, hurting, helpless, and hopeless. The Salvation Army identifies itself as an evangelical part of the universal Christian Church, with a message based on the Bible and a ministry motivated by the love of God. The organization notes that summer camps are a primary way it connects with youth and young adults from around the world, and that campers experience God's creation in a place they feel safe and loved, while staff grow in their faith and Christian community as they invest in campers’ lives.
The Salvation Army Lawrence M. Daley Camp and Conference Center reports that it has been serving campers from under-served areas of Los Angeles since 1939. Children who attend Camp Gilmore come from Corps, Youth Centers, Service Extension units, and public and private agencies and schools. The leadership team includes a Camp Director, Assistant Camp Director, Guest Services Manager, and Program Manager.
