About Us
Mission-
Our mission at Moose River Outpost is to introduce people to Jesus Christ in such a compelling fashion that they will come to know Him as both Lord and Savior. Our primary means of carrying out this mission is through the operation of residential camps that provide a healthy, safe and challenging educational experience for both children and young adults. We will also use our God-given talents and facilities to assist and support other organizations that share our mission, as long as this does not interfere with our primary purpose.
Then-
Established in 1888 as Heald Pond Hunting Camps, Moose River Outpost is one of the oldest wilderness resorts in Maine. The land was later purchased privately by Ken Olsen, a Christian businessman with a heart for the Lord’s work from Boston. In the late nineties he donated the 7000 acres of land surrounding Heald Pond in Moose River, Maine to Christian Camps and Conferences, Inc. His intent was that this beautiful spot would be used for the glorification of God and the furthering of His Kingdom.
Now-
Since 2005 Moose River Outpost has been operating as a Christian Adventure Center providing summer youth camping and seasonal retreating and conferencing for a variety of Christian groups. We have seen God bless us with consistent growth in both our summer camping programs as well as our retreat and conference groups.
Tomorrow-
Moose River Outpost provides its campers and visitors with more opportunities for adventure and appreciation of our God than any other Christian camp on the East Coast. With river rafting, canoeing, archery, mountain biking, rock climbing, kayaking, wakeboarding, waterskiing and so much more available, Moose River outpost can be the catalyst for your spiritual life, the boost your child needs, or the perfect destination for your retreat group. Take advantage of the endless opportunities provided by our location, our guided trips, and our creative God.
