Our Ministries

Here’s a brief overview of the various ministries of Shepherd’s Foundation at Camp Maximum and beyond.

CAMPS & RETREATS

Camp Maximum offers year round opportunities for camping and retreats. These escapes from the pressures of the world provide enriching experiences for children, adults, and families.



DISABILITY MINISTRIES

Shepherd’s Foundation and Camp Maximum are the pioneers in developing focused camps for disabled youth, adults, and families. Our extreme activities have been modified for disabled children and adults, and our team works hard to minister to the parents, spouses, and caregivers who often are neglected.



WAR VETERANS & TRAUMA HEALING

Ukraine was attacked by Russia in 2014 and again in 2022. We support war veterans and their families providing rehabilitation, education and life transforming programs through outdoor adventure and family retreats.



EDUCATIONAL PARTNERSHIPS

We have already developed educational partnerships from elementary schools to universities that connect professionals, support faculty exchanges and offer internship opportunities. Our commitment to education is an essential part of every Shepherd’s Foundation/ Camp Maximum outreach.



Sports

Our sports platform is uniquely positioned to serve international organizations like FCA in reaching coaches and athletes for Jesus in Ukraine. Up to 170 athletes can enjoy a weekend with motivational speakers, great food, and collegiate sized basketball courts.

TESTIMONIALS

What People Say

A few words from our supporters.

Elena Evans

Volunteer

"This was my first trip to Ukraine! Wonderful time traveling to Europe, learning new cultures, traditions, serving together with people from other parts of the world and being able to share faith with campers and staff at Camp Maximum. Time I will never forget! The mission ended up better than I could have envisioned! A very memorable, professional, and spiritual journey for me!"

Ashley Lapenta

Programs Coordinator

"I traveled to Ukraine to help develop programing and processes for the new Christian Camp site the local team was just starting to build. I lived and served in Zolotonosha for six months! A rewarding experience I will cherish for the rest of my life. This was not easy, but I would definitely do it again. Love Ukraine and my dear friends in Zolo!"

Kyle Freed

Volunteer

"I iterally could not be happier that I chose to travel on a mission with the Shepherd's Foundation! Through serving and sharing my faith in Ukraine I discovered deeper relationships and a sense of God's presence in my life. This is something you only come to understand when you serve abroad."
