Dear Friends of Camp Anderson:
It is with a thankful heart and great anticipation that I share all that God is doing on this incredible journey that we have named ‘Camp Anderson’. I am amazed at how God continues to provide the people, finances and favor in our community and abroad. God has provided a full time staff that now resides at the camp on the beautiful Suwannee River in NW Florida. This team has been handpicked by God and they have sacrificed much to be a part of something that is destined for greatness.
God has blessed the camp with willing hearts and sponsors that have invested generously. The capacity of the camp has been upgraded with 26 new log cabins with private restrooms, which brings the total bed space up to 400. Additional new amenities include: a 2,500 sq. ft. resort style pool, a floating dock, residences for the camp pastor and director, a filtered water system and newly paved roads, just to name a few. Future plans include a new commercial kitchen/cafeteria, ball fields and many other improvements that are sure to make Camp Anderson a spiritual destination for generations to come.
These incredible Camp Anderson facilities are now open year round for retreats, rentals, conferences and music events. We can provide your group with a basic facilities rental designed to keep your costlow or you can add food service, programming, activities, live music and speakers to make your event exceptional!
Recently, Camp Anderson received the ‘Champions of Hope’ award from Florida Governor Rick Scott atthe National Faith Symposium for its work with ‘at risk’ young people in the state. These young people represent the most vulnerable in our society and suffer from neglect, abandonment and abuse. These young people come from organizations like Department of Children and Families [DCF], Meridian, Sheriffs Youth Ranches, Partnership for Strong Families, Baptist Children’s Home and other orphanage and foster care organizations in the Southeast.
This newfound relationship and cooperation is an incredible opportunity for the faith based communityand our corporate sponsors to make a real difference in the lives of young people. In response to this open door, we have formed a new organization named “Masterpiece Initiative” that is focused on “rescuing the heart of a child”. We are actively seeking business partners, churches and individuals to pledge to sponsor these young people.
Please join us on this incredible journey as we seek to reach the unreached of the next generation and make a real difference in the lives of young people in our community and in the Southeast. You can sponsor these young people at $175 each by going to and clicking onwww.campanderson.org“Masterpiece Initiative”. 100% of your donation goes directly to sponsor children and is tax deductible.

This past summer, Camp Anderson sponsored about 240 youngpeople to come to summer camp from several ‘at risk’ organizations including the Department of Children and Families (DCF), Sheriffs Youth Ranches, Meridian, Partnership for Strong Families, Baptist Children’s Home, The Potter’s House and other orphanage and foster care organizations. Many of these young people have lost hope and suffer from abandonment, depression and abuse. Camp Anderson provides a unique and extraordinary opportunity to make a difference in their lives. While at camp, these young people are loved unconditionally,and they experience God in a powerful and life changing way. We have received hundreds of letters from these teens, their caseworkers and family members giving testimony of renewed hope and course correction in these vulnerable lives.
This partnership between Department of Children and Families, (DCF) along with other ‘at risk’ children’s organizations and Camp Anderson is incredible and unprecedented. This newfound cooperation has opened new doors of opportunity for us to really make a difference in the lives of young people in the government system. With this success, Camp Anderson plans to increase the bed-space for this sponsorship program up to 700 young people. We are reaching out to businesses, churches and individuals in the Southeast to help us sponsor as many of these young people as we possibly can. The faith-based community may never have an opportunity like this again to cooperate with the State to reach the most vulnerable and needy young people in our society. You can sponsor a child to come to camp by donating $175 at: www.campanderson.org

-The climate controlled riverside pavilion with its retractable walls is something
that no other retreat destination that we have been to offers. It is an
incredibly beautiful setting with the river right by the meeting space.
-We brought a group of three schools to Camp Anderson as part of our
annual school retreat. We didn’t have to worry about anything, they
handled everything!
The camp staff was amazing. They bonded with our students and
just became part of our ministry team.
-Our Church brought a large group of men to Camp Anderson for a men’s
retreat and we had an amazing time. We brought our own speaker for
the event and asked Camp Anderson to supplement us with food and
activities.We just fell in love with this camp and everybody here.
Within days of returning home, our men wanted to know if we were
coming back next year. It really made an impact with our men.

-We cannot begin to express our gratitude for your support at the “Rock the
River” Concert that we recently held at Camp Anderson. This event could
not have gone so well if it were not for your partnership and involvement.
We are already receiving emails and phone calls with positive feedback
from those who attended and we are being asked about our plans
for the next concert .

Before I came to Camp Anderson, I was
that rebellious teenager that they
described partying, drinking, and
involved in drugs. I didn’t even want to
come, but my mom made me. But now,
I’m so glad I did. It changed my life!

Camp Anderson has been lifechanging. Before coming hereI felt lost and alone. Now, I feel closer to God and myheart is full and content.

To be honest, I didn’t expect very much from
this camp. I’ve been to much bigger camps
like Fuge and Student Life, and I thought this
wouldn’t compare. Camp Anderson surpasses
those other camps because it’s more personal,
and the staff gets to know you better. The
experience with God is very real here and
they certainly never fail to bring fun!

Master Plan
Camp Anderson Goals
Excellent Fun! To provide a camp and retreat experience that is so excellent and so fun that people from all walks of life will be motivated to come. We plan to be relentless in making this camp the best there is, insuring that people will be attracted to this camp for years to come.
Unconditional Love! To unconditionally love every person that comes on our campus, so they will understand by experience what it means to be loved by Jesus. When young people are confronted with true, unconditional love, it melts away the walls of resistance and opens their heart to hear God speak.
Spiritual Focus! To look for opportunities to engage each camperon a personal level, to find out where they are in their spiritual walk, to encourage them to make the decision to give their lives to Jesus and to be ‘Sold Out’ to His leading and purpose for their lives. We have found that when we make a personal connection, show genuine love, and communicate the Gospel in the power of the Holy Spirit, lives are changed.
God’s Word! To make sure that every camper has a Bible and leaves camp with an understanding of the importance of cultivating their new found relationship with God through a daily walk in His Word.
On Mission! To engage each church to see their week of camp as a‘Mission Trip’. To challenge the youth group students and staff to invite their unchurched friends to come to camp with their youth group. This approach engages the students as ‘missionaries’ and it provides the needed discipleship of new Christians through the structure of the church.
Spiritual Partnership! To develop a culture of spiritual partnership with the churches and groups that we serve. We want to become your spiritual partner to help meet the needs of your church through camps and retreats.
This camp was the most amazing experience of my life. For the first time, the Holy Spirit touched my heart. It was incredible and it happened because of the love at this camp.

I came to camp broken. God has
worked a miracle in my heart
and soul and Camp Anderson
helped to show me the way.
William,
Just hearing the name Camp Anderson puts a smile on my face...It brings back great memories of
not only my two grandsons and their best friends getting saved, but also 50 other teens coming to know
Jesus Christ and beginning their personal relationship with Him on a daily basis.
We live next door to the camp, so we are able to be involved with different aspects of it...From everyone
coming together during amazing praise and worship and having the freedom to just let go and saturate
themselves in the glory and love of God, to all the fun activities and new relationships that will last forever.
Both Frank and I were ministered to as well by the love the staff and counselors showed each and every
teen. Our life is so blessed because of the new friendships we have made through Camp Anderson...All
of you are amazing human beings that have put together a platform for teens to comfortably come
together and have that life changing moment, that moment they make Jesus Christ the Lord and Savior
of their lives.
We thank God for each and every one of you...for being sensitive to God’s voice, taking that, and making
something so wonderful as Camp Anderson.
May God bless you all,
Frank & Debbie Anderson
Camp Anderson is a place of fun, butalso a place to find God. Personally, I
started reading my Bible and prayingmore because of this place. It’s a great
place to come and meet new friends andhave fun, but more importantly, to meet
and start a relationship with God.

Dear Mr. William and Staff,
Camp Anderson is the best thing that has happened to my family. My grandchildren loved
going to Camp Anderson and I remember the first time my granddaughter went to camp.
When I came to pick her up, her entire personality had completely changed. You could clearly see
the love of God in her eyes. She was so happy. She was so angry before she went to camp. I
remember crying happy tears because I knew in my heart that God had touched her heart at Camp
Anderson, and I had my beautiful, young granddaughter back.
My grandson was also changed because of the love and support and the teachings of the Bible.
The proudest I have ever been was when my daughter and both of my grandchildren were
baptized together in the Suwannee River.
Thank you for all you have done for my family. I feel strongly that parents should send their
young people to Camp Anderson. They will see the love of God in their eyes, as I have
witnessed in my family. I thank God every day for giving me back my sweet and kind
grandchildren.
Thank you Camp Anderson!

Before I came to Camp Anderson, I never prayed unless I wanted something or I was in trouble. Now, I know that I can pray for others. God has given me another day to pray and spread the love of God.
I came to camp feeling
hopeless. When I got here, all
of that changed. This camp
has changed me in a way I
never expected. I gave my life
to God and now I have Hope!

Camp Bennett has changed my life, and helped me find Jesus! I never want to leave!
We came to Camp Bennett as a family to
experience camp together for the first time.
The second night, both Anna and Mason gave
their lives to Jesus. I cried. We listened to
Pastor Kevin’s amazing preaching another
night and as a family decided to get baptized
together. This camp was a blessing from God
to help us give back to our own children,
many Bennett children and to plug in again with Jesus.

This week at Camp Anderson
has been great because I
have been surrounded by
people like me who love
Jesus and have the same
desires that I do. This week
has been a great reminder
that I am not alone and
there are other Christians
my age that want to serve
God. I love this camp and the staff! RV and Alex Brown’s
messages were life changing. They have encouraged
and inspired me in my walk with Christ!

I had a family ask me if it would be alright to send their
troubled teen to camp and I was able to say“yes!” I
explained how Camp Anderson has a ministry to
unchurched teens who come from broken, messy homes
and they are completely equipped to handle whatever
may come up, no worries! We have experienced this first
hand. The kids have been given the opportunity to find
God in their messy circumstances and feel safe doing
it! Thank you for being willing.
It’s been a great week! God is good at showing up and
showing off! Our students have grown in their unity and
more importantly in their relationship with their Savior.
We had fun, we worshiped with all we had, our lost were
saved, our saved were challenged, and our God was
glorified! We love Camp Anderson and staff. Thank
you for being obedient!
I am with Lighthouse Baptist and this is our 2nd year
here and will be the 2nd of many! We have been to a
lot of camps through the years and have even worked
at several and I can honestly say this one is heads above
any others. God’s Word is preached without apology
and His love is shown through the staff and leadership.
What else can you ask for?! Your love for the kids who
are often overlooked and under loved is humbling and
overwhelming. I can honestly say there is nothing
I would change!
This week at Camp Anderson was amazing! It is a camp
where kids can come and experience God’s unconditional
love regardless of race, background, or any other factor.
They will hear the truth of the Word preached as it should
be. In addition, they will be able to experience things that
they never get to experience outside this setting. God’s
anointing is on this camp and His Holy Spirit is at work.
The majority of the kids that come here are
changed for eternity.

I have been a youth pastor for 14 years and have been
involved in student ministry for 18 years. I have attended
numerous camps and Camp Anderson is the total package.
So many camps focus on one thing and do it well, but Camp
Anderson has successfully pulled it all together! I was
nervous about it being a new camp for our group, but our
students absolutely loved it! They woke up every morning
to the beautiful Suwannee River, which pointed to God’s
wonderful creation. Morning and evening worship was
amazing! Three of our students gave their lives to Jesus and
so many more rededicated their lives. I was even able to
baptize a student on Friday in the river. The games and
activities were non-stop, including a trip to Fanning Springs,
Jet Ski tubing, paintball, and the blob...our students had a
blast! I could not have found a better camp for our students.
Every one of them are asking to come back next year!
And, We Will! Thank you Camp Anderson!
Throughout the week, I have noticed the impact that the
Word has been making on the lives of kids. The day is packed
with fun and excitement but the service at the end of the
day is the most moving and powerful experience I have had
at any camp. And, not just me, but the response from the
kids is amazing. The songs before the message are packed
with great theology that prepared the kid’s hearts for the
message. Personally, the presentation, execution, and
clarity of the Word of God by Kevin has rocked my world.
His passion, intensity, and love for God and for these kids
is moving; it’s like a fire hydrant of theology that’s easy to
digest and understand. My experience at Camp Anderson
was one for the books!
More comments from the youth leaders...
Thank you for an amazing week. This was our 2nd time at
Camp Anderson and I didn’t think it could ever top the 1st
time! The music and preaching was dynamic! The Spirit of
God is in this place and we had six decisions for Christ in our
group. Once again, we have had renewal in our hearts and
are pumped to go back home to win lives for Christ! And,
the staff interaction was amazing. Every one of your staff
show the love of Christ!
The counselors and staff at Camp Anderson were so loving to each camper, and just made sure we were all having fun. They took time to get to know me. I also loved the speaker and the camp band! I’m glad I got a chance to get closer to God.

This was the 3rd year I brought our youth to Camp Anderson.
It never gets old witnessing God’s harvest here at camp. I had
one child who initially was not on our list to come but because
of God’s plan she was asked to take the place of someone else
who had to drop out with short notice. I believe in my heart
God caused this to happen. He knew she was out there and
needed Jesus so he opened the door for her to come. She
accepted Christ as her Lord and Savior on the 2nd day!
Thank you Jesus for CampAnderson
Camp Anderson reminds me why I love student ministry!
Seeing students experience life change as they encounter
God is such a high point. I love seeing students leave
camp carrying much less “baggage” than they came with.
Students hear truth in a very applicable way. Students
also are able to build deep, meaningful relationships with
each other and their adult counselors. I also love how
accepting Camp Anderson is of students from all kinds of
backgrounds. All throughout camp week, the students
keep asking, “Are we coming back next year?” I think
if I said “no” there might be a revolt so we will be back!

Thank you for an amazing and eye-opening experience
regarding today’s youth. Our church group has been changed
permanently. We celebrated 5 salvations, 1 rededication, and
6 baptisms! After witnessing God’s love for young people and
the desire for young people to know God, He has lit a fire in
our souls. It was the most beautiful sight to watch
multitudes make salvation decisions and worship our Lord!
Lives are changed, hearts are healing, questions are
answered, and hope has been granted!

Camp Anderson is a high energy and full throttle
camp. It is both of these things for the camp activities
as well as the spiritual activities. I brought my youth
here and they heard the Word of God taught to them
every day. I have been to other camps and there is no
other camp quite like Camp Anderson!
Camp Anderson was myfirst camp and it’s one I’ll remember for therest of my life. At camp, Igave my life to Christ andwas baptized in theSuwannee River!

100% of donation goes directly to sponsor ‘At Risk’ teens and your donations are tax deductible.
This year we are raising money to sponsor up to 700 young people to come to summer camp from several ‘at risk’ organizations including the Department of Children and Families (DCF), Sheriffs Youth Ranches, Meridian, Partnership for Strong Families, Baptist Children’s Home, The Potter’s House and other orphanage and foster care organizations. Many of these young people have lost hope and suffer from abandonment, depression and abuse. Camp Anderson provides a unique and extraordinary opportunity to make a difference in their lives. While at camp, these young people are loved unconditionally, and they experience God in a powerful and life changing way. We have received hundreds of letters from these teens, their caseworkers and family members giving testimony of renewed hope and course correction in these vulnerable lives.
We are reaching out to businesses, churches and individuals in the Southeast to help us sponsor as many of these young people as we possibly can. The faith-based community may never have an opportunity like this again to cooperate with the State to reach the most vulnerable and needy young people in our society. You can sponsor a child to come to camp by donating $175 at: www.campanderson.org
700 ‘At Risk’ teens X $175 ea. = $122,500

When we saw the ‘Wet Willie’ water slide, we knew that it was the perfect match for Camp Anderson. Wecan’t wait to see thousands of young people zipping down the water slide and landing with a splash inthe famous Suwannee River. This slide will keep the campers cool and comfortable in the hot summers ofthe ‘Sunshine State’.
