Personal life

Camp grew in a very religious atmosphere, as Jeremy's father, Tom Owen Camp, married to Terry Camp, is pastor at Harvest Chapel in Lafayette, Indiana.

Camp has been married twice. His first wife was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and died when he was 23. Some of his early songs reflect the emotional ordeal of her illness. "I Still Believe" was the first song he wrote after her death. He married Adrienne Liesching, former frontwoman for The Benjamin Gate, in December 2003. They have two daughters: Isabella Rose Camp (September 25, 2004) and Arianne Mae Camp (April 5, 2006).
