A summer camp for at-risk youth
UGM Campers

Adventure

Fun in the great outdoors

Gospel

God's love made tangible

Connection

Relationships built for life


Every summer,

about 500 kids ages 8-11 from Spokane’s low-income neighborhoods are invited to spend a week exploring nature and experiencing God’s love. They’re invited by their local church and sponsored by generous members of the community. The goal is to provide connections to a team of trustworthy adults who will invest in their lives and offer hope for a better tomorrow.

UGM Camp

6088 Martha Boardman Rd.
Ford, WA
509.258.4257

In 1991, Dick Shanks, a lifelong supporter of UGM, offered his riverside land (125 acres), house, cabins, and recreational facilities to the Mission at a fraction of the value. This became UGM Camp. 

The campground is located one hour outside Spokane, near Ford, WA. While UGM provides the support staff, teams of volunteers from several different neighborhood churches lead the programming and provide counselors so that ongoing relationships can be established and continued long after camp is over.  

 

Thanks to the generous community members who provide camp sponsorships every year, campers attend at no cost.
