Global Youth Camps at Fort Mountain Retreat & Conference Center is part of Global Youth Ministry, 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 Camps include middle school through high school aged students, and students receive guided training during summer camps, which are held in various locations, to become followers of Christ and to become leaders among their peers. Team sports, team games, and individual and group Bible studies are used to encourage students to care for their team members, share their experiences, and grow in their leadership capabilities. 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 a non-for-profit 501c3 missions sending organization.
Global Youth Ministry conducts short term mission projects in cooperation with the International Mission Board and other mission agencies, and sponsors mission projects in Africa, Europe, North America, and South America. Almost all overseas mission projects have a strong youth ministry component in which young people reach out to their peers in another culture. Global Youth Mentors 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. Ministry partners are strategic organizations and causes that Global Youth Ministry has partnered with in ministry to youth and youth leaders.
Global Youth Camps are conducted on the main Fort Mountain campus as well as travel locations in 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. The Global Institute for Youth Leadership focuses on college-aged students with four college credit tracks offering Leadership Training, Youth Ministry, Missions, and Creative Arts training.
