What Campers Say

I've learned so much about Jesus, I don't want to follow other gods.  I want to follow Jesus!

Jake, Camper, Age 12

I just love Morning Star Ranch and can't wait to come back for Family Camp!

Melody, Camper, Age 15

I'm gonna start working when I get back home so that I have enough money to come back next year!

Richey, Camper, Age 13

I've never been on a hay ride before.  It was a blast . . . cold, but a blast!

Megan, Camper, Age 8

I love the high ropes.  It was the best part of camp!

Derrik, Camper, Age 9

My favorite part of camp was the singing in chapel!

Cissy, Camper, Age 12

Working at Harmony Heart Camp was powerful and life-changing -- allowing me to build strong relationships with Christian peers and form life long friendships!

Alexis, Summer Staff

Working at Harmony Heart took my relationship with Christ to a higher level and now my faith is stronger than ever.

Cynthia, Summer Staff

Coming to camp from living in the Hood gives you peace of sleep and freedom to speak out about a lot. You come with little to no knowledge about God, but before you leave, you know a lot about Him.

Vera, Camper

Working at Harmony Heart Camp allowed me to build my relationship with God (and others) and instilled a passion within me that will never fade.  I wouldn't trade my time spent there for anything.

Christina, Summer Staff

I will never forget Harmony Heart Camp.  I got saved in 1999 during an 8th Grade Retreat.  I later worked at camp for three summers, each one bringing me closer to the Lord.  I will never forget the fun, spiritual times that I had there.

Claudia, Summer Staff

Camp is a place to grow, have fun, learn something and make great friends.

Daniel, Camper

Being on staff at Harmony Heart was a special time in my life.  Working as a teen staff I learned about myself and who I am in Christ.  Later, working as a team leader, I learned how to lead and teach others how to work together. 

Lisa, Summer Staff 

I was only 14 my first year at camp.  I had my ups and downs and I know that I wasn't always the best person to get along with, but in the long run I grew in so many ways.

Sarah, Camper

Camp was great fun.  The staff is loving and welcomes people with open arms.

Juan, Camper
