WinShape Camps

What WinShape Camps does

WinShape Camps is a non-profit Christian summer camp ministry operating under the WinShape Foundation, headquartered at 2277 Martha Berry Hwy. NW in Mt. Berry, Georgia on the Berry College campus. Founded in 1984 and now in its 40th summer of operation, the organization runs three core camp formats—overnight camps in North Georgia, family camps at the same facilities, and community-based day camps—alongside a year-round events program that extends engagement beyond the traditional summer season. Activities span archery, rock climbing, basketball, canoeing, Bible study, and group singing, with each summer built around a unique Christian-themed arc.

The business model is direct-to-consumer registration fees. Families enroll through dedicated online portals (overnightregistration.winshape.org and campregistration.winshape.org), while day-camp experiences are deployed into local communities through the Host Day Camp channel, in which partner churches and organizations apply to host the program. Marketing runs through the camps.winshape.org website, HubSpot-driven "Request Info" lead capture, photo galleries (waldo.photos), and a "Share Your Story" community feature, with summer-staff recruitment funneled through workatwinshape.org.

There is no proprietary technology platform, no mobile app, no disclosed APIs, and no AI capabilities; the digital stack is a standard content/registration website plus lead forms. As a non-profit affiliate of the WinShape Foundation, the entity raises no venture funding, operates with a seasonal cadence anchored on summer, and serves Christian families seeking faith-based youth programming in North Georgia and partner markets served by the Host Day Camp network.
