Its mission is to be equip leaders, and its vision is to impact lives and develop leaders with a Christian worldview and Christ-like leadership. The program also seeks to reach children and youth with the love of Christ, equip believers to grow and lead, and partner with churches and ministries.

Every adult counselor and leader is vetted, background checked, and trained in approved Child Protection protocols before serving on site. Camp Skholē offers classes for grades K-12 and events for teens and moms. Students younger than 7th grade must have a parent or guardian present; students in 7th grade and older may attend some events without a parent or guardian.
