What is Jesus Was A Camper?
The vision and mission in 12 words: Slow Down, Scroll Less, Seek First, Live Light, Dig Deep, Wander Well.
Jesus Was a Camper™ is a reminder that Jesus found connection, solitude, and purpose in the wilderness. So can we.
Coming soon will be the flagship book, Jesus Was A Camper: Hiking with Christ on the Trail of Life, that lays out it out.

Inspired by
Joseph Pfeifer
Kiwanis Camp
Jesus Was a Camper™ is inspired by my time as camp counselor at Joseph Pfeifer Kiwanis Camp in Little Rock, Arkansas from 2013-2015.
The camp's director, Sanford Tollette said to me one day, "You know, Dustin...Jesus was a camper."
I knew that phrase had a special meaning.
I wrote a song of the same name and published the first children's book in January 2025.
Now I am on a mission to create a movement inspired by Pfeifer Camp.
