  • Rotate through essential camp tasks like emptying garbage, cleaning outhouses, or starting campfires
  • Clean and reset camp between sessions so campers always arrive to an amazing environment

Be Part of Something Meaningful

  • Create a distraction-free environment for campers to grow spiritually and relationally!
  • Join daily chapel for worship and teaching
