We depend on you.



Did you know...


We have over 100 acres of property, over 25 buildings (most of which are over 50 years old), two lakes and miles of trails - all of which are maintained by one full-time and 2 part-time staff members! Not only do they manage the "upkeep" of each building - they are charged with improving all of our facilities! This is on top of prepping for and cleaning up after each group.
How do they do it? Volunteers.

In the past year, volunteers have contribute nearly 3000 hours of volunteer work! That is the equivalent of one staff person working 40hrs/week for 1.3 years!

We depend on volunteers.

Maybe you're part of a group that is looking to be giving back to the community. Maybe you're part of a group that should start giving back to the community. Maybe you have a skill that may help us at camp.

However you think you may like to get involved - consider this your invitation. We have projects for all different sizes and types of groups. We have projects that are simple and projects that are technical.

We want you to be part of our team.

All you have to do is let me know when you'd like to come, how many people you will be bringing and how long you will be here. We will take care of everything else.

I'm looking forward to seeing you at camp.
