-Camping ministry began at Camp Bratton-Green in Way, Mississippi, more than 70 years ago. In the beginning, it was an assortment of army surplus Quonset huts and tents. There was no pool, no dining hall, and no chapel. The conditions were primitive but the spirit of God was present and His grace abundant. God's grace remains abundant and continues to be found by campers, families, counselors, staff, and others who visit this holy place. Whether it's your first time as a camper or "umpteenth" time as a volunteer, you can't help but be touched by the ministry in this holy place.
