An adventure for the whole family.

2023 Theme:
Mount Up
Our theme is focused on encouraging families to renew their strength by relying on the power of the Lord God—the One Who knows all things, is over all things, and works through all things. Even when our circumstances are overwhelming, we can MOUNT UP because Christ gives power to the faint, and to those who have no might, He increases strength.
“But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” Isaiah 40:31
Family
Renew relationships and create lasting memories.
Faith
Biblical encouragement in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Fellowship

Speakers
Our CAMP SPEAKERS love God and love people. You won’t want to miss their inspiring, Christ-centered messages. Our past Family Camp messages are also available to purchase or stream through embassymedia.com.

Will Summers
Will Summers was assigned to 5th Special Forces Group as a member of ODA 595 (The Horse Soldiers). He was a Special Forces Communication Sergeant, and an Infantry Officer during his 25 years of service. ODA 595 was recognized for the most successful Unconventional Warfare mission in modern history. Their mission inspired the America’s Response Monument and the movie 12 STRONG. Will and his wife, of 26 years, Dawn, live on a small farm in East Texas with ten of their eleven children; their eldest son, with his family, are on active duty in the 82nd Airborne Division.
Rick Warner
Capt. Warner has been working alongside our ministry since 2014. With a heart for discipleship and a boldness that remains undaunted after 20 years in Mongolia as a missionary, Capt. Warner actively engages our community with the Gospel and encourages those around him into a deeper relationship with Christ—often using archery to illustrate concepts, or recalling profound life experiences from the past. If you catch him in a free moment, you’ll most likely find him scouting the lake in a canoe, spending time with his family, or in a meaningful conversation with a new friend.
Dr. Lew Sterrett
As a certified youth, marriage, and family counselor, Dr. Lew has a passion for biblical leadership development. Dr. Lew skillfully tames wild horses while illustrating our own spiritual stubbornness and our Master’s kindness to continue drawing us to Himself. Dr. Lew shares his “Sermons on the Mount” across the nation, encouraging and equipping others to surrender to the Master and become effective followers of Christ.
Jarrod Cox
Jarrod Cox has been in Christian ministry for over 15 years and pastoring for ten years. He is also an engineer, international lead auditor, and leadership development consultant. He is married to Christy, and they have four wonderful children together. He has his Masters in Divinity from Mid-America Baptist Theological Seminary, where he earned the preachers award. Jarrod has a passion for developing pastors and teachers, counseling, and writing. He enjoys a variety of books and films when he is not playing strategy board games or traveling with the family.
Jesse Boulden
Col. Jesse Boulden has been with the ALERT Program since attending Basic Training Unit 40 in 2008. He is passionate about forging men for the kingdom of God and has served in a variety of roles, including Drill Instructor, Senior Drill Sergeant, Sergeant Major, Executive Officer, and currently Commanding Officer. He has been married to his wife Katy, an elementary school teacher, since 2020.

"The overall feeling of love and joy you experience while [at Family Camp is] unexplainable. It is an investment that is worth the money and time that you need to see for yourself. Seeing familiar faces every year from all over helps you feel like you aren’t the only ones standing for truth. It’s inspiring." - Stephen

Archery is another favorite activity at ALERT Family Camp! Bows and arrows can teach us much about staying on target, precision, and focus. Without Christ, we will fall short and miss the mark. Hone your skill and spiritual focus at this epic camp activity. All targets and equipment are provided; qualifying archers can participate in an archery shoot-off during Family Camp as well!
