Our program is a mission camp experience in the St. Louis area with its great agencies, vital ministries, entertainment options and a wonderful mix of diverse people and situations. We believe whole-heartedly that the mission experience enables high school and college age youth to see and feel The Word come alive through direct involvement and study of urban mission projects. Please see our detailed website including photos at www.stlurbanmissions.org or call Duane Mazzacavallo at (314) 497-2384 for more information.
Designed to provide a variety of work experiences, such as soup kitchens, homeless shelters, youth programs, housing rehab, the St. Louis Urban Mission Camp also enhances spiritual life through Christian service. This is a valuable time for your youth to really get to know each other in a different setting.So, having fun while you are here is highly encouraged! The St. Louis area has so much to offer – from the magnificent Gateway Arch, Cardinals baseball, City Museum, Six Flags to the Zoo in Forest Park – just to name a few! There’s so much to see and do in St. Lou, go to www.explorestlouis.com to find out where to start.
