Seeking to model God's purpose for all humanity, Dwight Mission strives to increase Christ's witness in the world by proclaiming, presenting and participating in God's love, by providing a natural sanctuary for God's people where the good news of the Gospel becomes operative in their lives, and by working with Cimarron, Indian Nations, and Eastern Oklahoma Presbyteries in this ministry.

Dwight Mission Summer Camp

The Classic Camp Experiencecamp
We maintain a ratio of no more than eight (8) campers to one camp counselor while your son or daughter is at camp (there is a 5:1 ratio for the Tiger and Adventure Camps).  A group of boys (with their male counselor) and a group of girls (with their female counselor) together make up a “family group.”  It is with this group that the camper will do most camp activities.  Every evening, the whole camp gathers for worship.  The community that forms within the family group and within the camp as a whole is an important part of the Dwight Mission experience.  Campers are expected and encouraged to be involved in all camp activities.

Our Staff
While Dwight Mission offers unique activities and a beautiful and historic location, we believe that a quality staff is the“key ingredient” to a successful and safe camp experience. The staff at Dwight Mission takes the mission of the summer camp program very seriously. The directors, counselors, specialized staff, camp medical staff, and volunteer chaplains are enthusiastic and dedicated Christians.  They have been screened, selected and trained to ensure an exciting and meaningful camp experience.  The staff receives 11 days of intense training at the beginning of the summer and continues with ongoing instruction throughout the program.  The training equips the staff with skills that enable them to create a physically and emotionally safe environment for campers.

The Facilitiesdorm
Dwight Mission has over 50 years experience providing quality summer programs for children and youth.  The summer camp facilities include 2 large dormitories which allow for safe supervision of campers during rest time and at night, the guest lodge (where our leadership campers stay), the dining hall, the challenge course, the swimming pool and creek waterfront area, two large indoor meeting rooms, four outdoor meeting gazebos, and an open pavilion chapel.  The dormitories each have 9 bedrooms on two floors with 2 bathrooms on each floor.  Campers sleep in dorm bedrooms with others in their family group.  Genders are separated by dormitory.

Camp allows us to step away from our day-to-day routines and focus more intently on our relationship with God, to experience Christian community, and to practice living out our spiritual values in a supportive atmosphere.  Each day, campers will have the opportunity for reflection and active learning of the scripture. 

Health & Safety
The health and safety of our campers are monitored and maintained at all times.  Camp programs are not without risk, but with careful attention to safety procedures and a mature staff, we aim to minimize that risk while still offering a fun and challenging program.  Dwight Mission has a health center and a health care manager on staff.  Complete medical facilities are available in Sallisaw (less than 20 minutes away from camp) and arrangements have been made for emergency response, if needed.  Before your child comes to camp, a health examination by a physician is recommended, but not required.
All swimming & water activities are supervised by a certified lifeguard and campers are required to wear lifejackets while canoeing.
