Throughout the year individuals and groups come to volunteer and share their God given talents by helping to direct our summer camps, helping us add new facilities, and maintain and repair the existing facilities. Individuals also assist us by preparing and serving meals to groups, and by providing additional support as necessary.
The opportunity to volunteer can be incorporated into retreats or day use opportunities. Projects are designed for all skill levels, and may include assisting us build our new tree houses, cutting brush on trails, painting, etc. Every project helps us in our ministry of providing a place to be transformed.
