Campers on Mission is a national fellowship of Christian campers who want to share their faith while camping or participating in missions activities.  Sponsored by the Adult Volunteer Mobilization Unit of the North American Mission Board, membership is open to Christian campers of all denominations. 

A love of the great outdoors and Christian fellowship are two characteristics of Campers on Mission.  Whether backpackers hiking mountain trails, families on vacation or senior citizens motoring the highway, they look for ways to tell others about Jesus Christ and God's love.

COMers participate in short-term missions projects across the US and Canada.  Typically, these projects last a week or more.  They could be anything from construction, disaster relief work and Backyard Bible Clubs to projects at state fairs, campgrounds, NASCAR races, parades or truck stops.  In many creative ways, COM combine their their love of the outdoors with ministry across North America.

Below is information about the South Carolina chapter of COM.
