The program is spiritually and physically grounded upon the five rocks of Courage, Love, Faith, Humility and Honesty. A Spiritual Life Coordinator offers times to gather with campers who want to learn more about spirituality. The community is open and affirming to all who come, regardless of religious affiliation, and the NYAC Camping & Retreat Ministry Board of Directors fully accepts all persons identifying as LGBTQIA+ into the life, ministry, and activities of the camp. Environmental education is woven into the program, with a focus on intensive personal growth, experiential faith formation, and making vibrant connections. Quinipet is licensed by the New York State Department of Health. The mission statement says that God gave earth and humankind, and that it is the job of loving faithful Christians to love and care for each of these, and that the hope is that each camper will grow in new experiences and in their spiritual walk with God. The leadership team includes Shauna D'Arcy as Interim Executive Director, Lauren Traskos as Retreats and Registration Coordinator, Reggie Johnson as Food Service Manager, and Graeme Baker as Property Manager.
