This project is an exploratory study of Christian ministries in recreational areas in the USA, the challenge of the leisure revolution, the psychological needs of vacationers, and an introduction into the characteristics of the churched and the unchurched. Data was gained from on-site visits to over twenty ministries in recreational areas from Maine to California. These ministries were then presented according to their primary goals: worship, evangelism, counseling, and social action. A discussion of evangelistic strategies in recreational areas recommends the use of friendship, proclamation, and contact evangelism. Findings from on-site visits and research into evangelistic strategies are joined together in plans for establishing an evangelistic ministry among recreational areas in Maine. Possibilities are analyzed for outdoor worship services in campgrounds and on ski slopes, summer and winter evangelism projects, campground and ski chaplaincies, and evangelistic ski retreats.
