SNAP (Special Needs Assistant Personnel) Training 2024

June 28 - June 29

Special Needs programs rely heavily upon the elite teenage campers we call SNAPs. As a SNAP, you’ll extend a stable arm to a camper walking, row campers in a boat, help campers carry trays full of delicious food, play games, and more. After mandatory training, SNAPs may be asked to return (at no additional cost) to assist with one or more Special Needs sessions. For the safety of our vulnerable campers, individuals seeking to be a SNAP must be fully vaccinated.

A higher staff to camper ratio of 1:2 allows for more personal attention, however we’re only able to accommodate persons who need minimal assistance with toileting and transferring and who do not require one-on-one care or constant direct-line-of-sight supervision.

Senior High Change Makers 2024 NEW!

July 21 - July 26

Camp has long been a peaceful place to escape the struggles of life. But what if the rest of the world were more like camp? At Change Makers Camp we’ll have a chance to release our anger and frustration with the way things are and then work together to make things better. As we read in the bible, “All of creation waits breathless with anticipation for the revelation of God’s children.” (Romans 8:18-19) Creation is waiting for us to embrace God’s vision for the world and make it so! Being changemakers means embracing the slower pace of camp, letting lose & having fun, while learning how we can bring transformation to our communities and the world. Not only will we get to do all our favorite camp activities but we’ll get to practice and plan actions for “being the change we wish to see in the world”. If you’re feeling hopeless or depressed about life or the state of the world, Change Makers Camp is for you!
