Who We Are
For over 40 years The goal of ISCF camps has been to provide a transformative experience for students in a fun and caring environment.
Students are at the centre of the ISCF Camp vision. We are passionate about seeing students grow into life-long disciples of Christ, reaching other students with the good news of Jesus, and serving and strengthening their local Church.
As a Christian camp, everything we do is based on our Biblical convictions about our relationship to God and with one another. This means that we respect the dignity of every person, desire their best and commit to doing our best to help them know they are loved and cared for by God.

Beginning
The Camping ministry is an integral part of our student outreach.
ISCF Camps were started in 1978 but our roots go farther back in history to the initial initiative of Oscar and Lucy Lord, who originally started a camps ministry at his home in Moorlands.
In 1958, Lucy Lord asked the Inter Schools Christian Fellowship to assist with the running of their summer camps. For 2 decades Cathy Nicholl's, an ISCF founder shared from her experience of camping in Canada with the leaders of the Moorlands campsite until the Moorland's Board took over operations.

Our Start
At the beginning of the 1980's, God had raised up ISCF groups in 150 schools in Jamaica and ISCF Camps were there to support them in the summers.
Campers gathered annually at the Moorlands campsite to study scripture, meet Christians from across the island and be encouraged in their faith.
Soon after LEAD Conference was added to the camp offerings to help train the leaders of ISCF groups island wide.

This is Camp
Since our start, the camping aspect of ISCF has continued to play an invaluable role in the discipleship and growth of high school students.
Our goal is to provide a transformative experience for our campers in a fun and caring environment in order to bring them into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, and train them to become leaders in their community.

BEGINNING
OUR START
This is Camp
In 1944, Stacey Woods was on the way back from an exploratory journey through Central America, and the flying boat in which he was travelling developed problems in take-off.
'The captain ordered,"All passengers sit in the rear of the plane on one another's knees. We'll have another try." I had two people on top of me.'
When they reached Jamaica the plane landed for repairs, and Stacey was marooned for five days.
'This unplanned, unscheduled layover was in God's plan and foresight,' he says.
Upon returning to Canada he reported that Jamaica was a top priority for evangelistic work among students. So in 1948 Ms. Cathy Nicholl, Canada’s most senior staff worker, visited Jamaica and started the group in six schools. Subsequent to that she returned to Jamaica and started the ministry of IVCF (now U.C.C.F) in 1952 on the University of the West Indies (known at that time as University College of the West Indies).
