Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why Girls Only?
2. Why the name change? Didn't this used to be

5. What about our boys?
6. Do we have to be an associational church?
Note: According to Texas Baptist Encampment rules, we must have 400
people registered in order to have exclusive use of the encampment.
Which means there is a possibility that another group will be on campus
with us. Please rest assured that both our camp staff and the
encampment staff do everything possible to ensure that both camps are
kept separate and apart from each other. We had a camp alongside of us
in 2008 and there were no complications. Hopefully, by 2009, we'll have
our 400 girls registered and will have the entire camp to ourselves!!!
- * We want to give our girls a chance to be girls. Sometimes that
means taking them away from their regular environment and giving
them a chance to experience things they would never do while at
home. We've discovered that some girls will not try new things while
in a group with boys.
- * Girls need a chance to learn how to be a godly girl. We can
take the time to address issues such as modesty, purity, and godly
behavior in a woman without the distractions of a co-ed class.
- * Girls mature at a different rate than boys. Boys are a big
distraction for most girls starting at a very early age. Girls just plain
act different when boys are in the group.
- * Girls brains are different than boys brains. Boys and girls
enjoy different activities. Girls camp gives us a chance to focus on
the girls needs and the things they enjoy.
2. Why the name change? Didn't this used to be
- G.A. Camp?
There are many churches in our associations that do not have a
G.A. program. We believe that many churches don't attend camp
because of this. We want to provide these churches with an
opportunity to bring their girls to a camp that focuses on missions
and Bible study without making them feel that have to be part of
another program.
3. Do I have to have a G.A. or Acteen group to attend
- camp?
Absolutely not! However, if you are interested in beginning one of
these programs in your church, please contact me or your
associational office for more information.
- Yes and No. We actually separate girls based on two different sets
of criteria. First and foremost, we separate by grade level. Then we
look at the number of counselors the particular church is bringing to
camp and recombine age levels to fit the number of counselors. We
try our best to keep girls in the same age group together. If you
have any questions regarding this, contact me at
michelle.girlsmissioncamp@yahoo.com
5. What about our boys?
- There are many camps designed just for boys. We recommend
Boys Adventure Camp of Texas. www.RACamp.org
6. Do we have to be an associational church?
- No! While our camp is affiliated with the Gulf Coast, Guadalupe,
Galveston, San Felipe, and Colorado Baptist Associations, you do
not need to be a member of these associations to attend camp.
Everyone is invited to attend Girls Mission Camp.
Note: According to Texas Baptist Encampment rules, we must have 400
people registered in order to have exclusive use of the encampment.
