Welcome to Camp Julian Oaks
About us
Julian Oaks Youth Ministries is an outreach to children and teens who have been removed from their homes for reasons of abuse or neglect. We are inspired by Psalm 27:10,
“When my father and mother forsake me, the Lord will take care of me.”
We consider it a privilege and blessing that God would use us to look after the orphans of our day here in San Diego County and adjoining Riverside County. Many of the children who come to camp each summer and winter have been doing so for at least five years and a good amount of our older campers have attended for nearly a decade!
The camp setting is a source of stability in an otherwise unstable and chaotic lifestyle. We are blessed by the testimonies of campers and counselors whose lives have been impacted by Jesus Christ season after season.
