Global Youth Camps at Fort Mountain Retreat & Conference Center is part of Global Youth Ministry, which is described as a multi-faceted ministry organization with a focus on educating and equipping today's youth to become tomorrow's leaders for Christ here at home and on the mission field. Global Youth Ministry offers Global Youth Camps where students receive guided training during summer camps to become followers of Christ and to become leaders among their peers, and it strives to build students’ sense of self-worth through the realization that Jesus considers them His own family and that He was willing to die for them. In 1995, founder Roger Glidewell’s vision of Global Youth Camps began, and 30 years later that vision has expanded to encompass youth, college students, and Youth Pastors around the world. Global Youth Ministry is described as a non-for-profit 501c3 missions sending organization.
Global Youth Camps include middle school through high school aged students and are conducted on the main Fort Mountain campus as well as travel locations to many different states in the Southeast. Global Missions Camps and Camp Mission Tracks expand the experiences of summer camp students through participation in area projects that help the families and churches in the location where the Mission Camp is taking place. Short term mission projects abroad are conducted in cooperation with the International Mission Board and other mission agencies, with mission projects sponsored in Africa, Europe, North America, and South America. Global Youth Ministry sponsors missionaries who live abroad and serve as Youth Mentors to assist local congregations in developing strategies to reach and minister to their teenage population, and it has ministry partners that are strategic organizations or causes with similar ministry goals to make Jesus known among youth populations all over the world.
Global Youth Ministry also offers the Global Institute for Youth Leadership, which provides four college credit tracks in Leadership Training, Youth Ministry, Missions, and Creative Arts training, and it offers three cascading regional training events for youth ministry that build upon each other. Global camps are described as being designed for true and lasting change, not just a great experience that wears off before school starts.
