Cell phones are asked to be kept away at all times, unless you are in a Lead position.

You’ll need a watch to keep time and we provide paper schedules. If you’d like to take photos bring a polaroid or digital camera.

Otherwise, the expectation is that your cell phones stay in your bag during the week.

All new staff who complete discipleship training and commit to serving 2 weeks will receive a camp name at the end of staff training.

You will need to fundraise $675 for the cost of discipleship training.

You can do this through letter writing, personally donating or earned camp credits.

Earn camp credit for each day you serve beyond your required two weeks of service!

Every day or week you volunteer at camp outside of your two week requirement, you earn camp credit. Earn $50 a day or $300 a week.

The camp credits can be applied towards your discipleship training cost or a camp registration.

This credit can be applied to your own registration OR you may gift your credit to a friend or family member. Credits expire in 1 year.

You can earn camp credits for volunteering at a rental in the dishpit, working at a volunteer work day or serving at additional camps during the winter or summer (beyond your required 2 weeks).

You will need to fundraise $675. We encourage you to write letters to friends and family, ask for donations from your church, work to personally donate or use camp credit you’ve earned.
