In 1957, Camp Concordia (CC) was formed to support the mission and ministry of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (LCMS), particularly as a children's and youth ministry, both in guiding faith and helping kids (and their families) to know Jesus Christ for the first time. CC sees itself as an arm of the mission field, and as such, adheres to the teachings of the LCMS as expressed in the Bible, the Book of Concord, and the clarifications produced by the LCMS conventions.
