Cambodia, a primarily Buddhist nation, is nestled between Thailand, Laos and Vietnam. This small country has survived a brutal history, as it was caught in the conflicts of the Vietnam War and was also controlled by Khmer Rouge.  Almost two million Cambodians were killed during this time.  Today, the majority of the 13 million citizens are farmers and many live in poverty.  Tourism is a major source of income, as people from all over the world come to visit Angkor Wat, home of the largest Buddhist temple.  The official languages of Cambodia are Khmer, French and English and Phnom Penh is the capital city.

Teen Missions in Cambodia is located in town of Siem Reap in northern Cambodia, home of Angkor Wat.  This base is one of the only Teen Missions bases located inside a town.  It is a small compound with a two-story building that is in the process of being built.  Each summer the staff run a national Boot Camp in an alternative location, since the base is too small to hold theBoot Camp. The first Boot Camp was run in 2004 and it has run every year since.  The base also runs a BIBLE, MISSIONARY & WORK (BMW) Training Center.  The staff at the base is very diverse as there are people serving there from Indonesia and the Philippines.
