Dear Friend of Ozark Mission Project,

Ozark Mission Project began in 1986 with one camp of 35 participants.  Like all healthy bodies, we have grown a lot.  

  • 1 full time Executive Director

  • 12 camps are held each summer

  • 600 youth and adults participate in OMP each summer

  • 450 neighbors are served each summer

  • 36 minimum (closer to 50) volunteers staff the camps

  • 8 college-age young adults comprise the paid staff for camps

  • 23 people volunteer all year to “run” OMP

  • 1 person is employed part time for administration of paper work

  • Neighbors are from all over our state

    • the delta of the Mississippi River

    • the valley of the Arkansas River

    • the hills of the Ozark and Ouachita Mountains

    • the timberlands of  the south

We have reached that point in our growth where it is time to make changes so that we may stay healthy and continue to grow.  We have already received approval for a 501(c)(3) status, which means we are now recognized by the federal government as a nonprofit organization.  We have restructured our governing body.  We now have an Executive Board comprised of community leaders and OMP volunteers, and an Advisory Committee of OMP volunteers.  We have achieved our goal of hiring an Executive Director.  We are now branching out to new mission opportunities, while sustaining our Arkansas summer camps.  This year will be the inaugural year for our Spring Break trip to the Gulf Coast of Mississippi, as well as our College Mission Trip to Rio Bravo, Mexico.  Only by God’s grace has Ozark Mission Project sustained the phenomenal growth with just volunteers.

I invite you to be a part of Ozark Mission Project.  God has given us wonderful and exciting visions of the future of Ozark Mission Project, and I know you will want to be part of God’s plans.

We are always looking for new volunteers.  If you would like to join our volunteer efforts at Ozark Mission Project, please click here to volunteer for our camps.
