In complete obedience to Christ, we will bring God’s love, compassion and redemption to our world.

To accomplish our mission, we operate three distinct ministries with three God-given directives:The Directive for KidzChange

We will B ring E ternal R adical R edemption to Y outh through camping and retreats. We will help youth to begin developing goals, plans, and dreams for a future grounded in obedience to Christ.

We will provide a retreat for peace and renewal so that people may seek and find God away from the challenges of daily life. Our hope is that those who visit Berry Lake Camps will find new life and love in Christ and take the gospel back home to their own mission fields.

We offer a chance for at-risk kids to go to camp; possibly for the first time in their lives through a program we call KidzChange. Rather than being tuition-based, we are donation funded, allowing families and businesses who have been blessed financially to send a child or children to camps and retreats that might not otherwise get to go. Through the camping experience, we work to develop within our young people a sense of self-confidence, to develop love for God`s natural world and to influence a decision for Christ and a commitment to responsible Christian Living. We create an atmosphere in KidzChange in which youth can begin developing goals, plans, and dreams for a Christ-blessed future.

Berry and Sandra Yarbrough`s call from God to begin Berry Lake Camps came in 1993 when their love for water-skiing and their desire to change the lives of young people who could go on to change our world came together in an idea of a Christian waterski camp for kids.

In 1999 Jim and Jan Yarbrough joined the team as board member and accounts manager.
