Upon the Rock is a Christian Camp for kids and families. Our goal is to bring the life saving good news of Jesus Christ to the lost, while teaching the saved what it means to have an intimate relationship with their Savior.

This non-profit organization is Christ-centered, and is not affiliated with any particular denomination because our goal is to minister to anyone who desires to develop a relationship with Jesus Christ.
