Camp All-American (CAA) was established in the summer of 1989 as a summer camp for kids in need of love, encouragement, and hope. Founded on the philosophy that by providing a summer camp where parents feel safe and kids are excited about playing and learning, CAA sought to build relational bridges that would enable us to minister to the deeper needs of the human heart (finding purpose, freedom, and assurance through a relationship with God through His son Jesus Christ). Building this camp from it’s inception on the property of Perimeter Church enabled us to build natural bridges from our church into the community. Camp All-American and now Camp & Sports Outreach (CSO) strive to protect and enlarge that foundation by continuing to encourage others to come “Play with a Purpose” by providing relevant and attractive programs and events that meet the needs and interests of children and adults alike. Our mission is accomplished as God’s family and those outside His family build relationships and experience together the love of Christ through the wonderful tools of sport and play. By using the culturally relevant tools of sport and play, AAR hopes to create spiritually, physically, and emotionally safe environments for people to investigate and experience the love of God. Our programs are open to all people regardless of religious beliefs, gender or ethnic background.

Our Statement of Faith

1. We believe the Bible is the inspired and inerrant Word of God, the only infallible rule of faith and practice.
2. We believe there is one God, eternal and self-existing in three persons (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) who are to be equally loved, honored, and adored.
3. We believe all mankind participated in Adam’s fall from his original sinless state and is thus lost in sin and totally helpless.
4. We believe the Sovereign God, for no other reason than His own unfathomable love and mercy, has chosen lost sinners from every nation to be redeemed by the quickening power of the Holy Spirit and through the atoning death and resurrection of His son, Jesus Christ.
5. We believe those sinners whom the Spirit quickens, come to believe in Christ as Savior by the Word of God, are born again, become sons of God, and will persevere to the end.
6. We believe justification is by faith and through it the undeserving sinner is clothed with the righteousness of Christ.
7. We believe the goal of God’s salvation in the life of the Christian is holiness, good works, and service for the glory of God.
8. We believe at death the Christian’s soul passes immediately into the presence of God and the unbeliever’s soul is eternally separated from God unto condemnation.
9. We believe baptism is a sign of God’s covenant and is properly administered to children of believers in their infancy as well as to those who come as adults to trust in Christ.
10. We believe Jesus Christ will return to earth, visibly and bodily, at a time when He is not expected, to consummate history and the eternal plan of God.
11. We believe the Gospel of God’s salvation in Jesus Christ.
