Agape Adventure Academy Camp

St. Louis’ Ultimate Faith-Based Adventure Camp!

A Christ-Centered Summer of Growth, Leadership & Outdoor Exploration

This isn’t just another summer camp—it’s an invitation to adventure, faith, and transformation. At Agape Adventure Academy, we believe summer is a time to explore boldly, learn hands-on, and deepen faith through immersive outdoor experiences that challenge, inspire, and equip kids for life. Each week, campers engage in nature, STEM, movement, and cultural exploration within a dynamic, Christ-centered environment. Our program nurtures the whole child—mind, body, and soul—equipping them with confidence, leadership skills, and a strong foundation in faith to thrive in any situation.
