SUPPORT STAFF

SUPPORT STAFF

Support Staff are the ones that make camp feel, smell, taste, and look like a little bit of heaven. Our campers are coming from very difficult home situations– and their emotions are maxed out. On top of that, many worry about not having enough food to eat, not having enough clothes, or wetting the bed at night. YOU are the ones that take care of all those details so that they can have a place of rest, experience grace, and receive what God has for them that week of camp. You have the opportunity to bring a little heaven to earth.
