ARMY first-hand--and you'll discover an amazing opportunity to grow physically, mentally and spiritually.

U.M. ARMY was born in Texas and the Texas Conference is the organization's most successful venture with more than a dozen high school and college camps each spring and summer.  On this website, you'll learn more about U.M. ARMY and see the Camp Stories from a variety of perspectives, from camper to parent to adult volunteer.  You'll get a feel for why hundreds of young people enthusiastically participate in U.M. ARMY mission camps each year.

There's also a place for you to ask questions (and get answers!) and link to registration for U.M. ARMY participation.

We hope you enjoy the online experience you'll find here, but can assure you that what you see and read on our website is nothing compared to the real experience you'll find serving others and the Lord.
