COME JOIN US FOR A SUMMER TO REMEMBER!!!
There are a lot of great things about Charis Camp, but year after year the thing that makes the biggest difference in the lives of the campers is our Summer Team! |
Work Crew
Summer Camp isn’t the main thing we do, making Disciples is.
Summer Camp takes a lot of amazing people working together as a team. We love summer camp and making a difference in the lives of campers, but we understand that only happens if we have a strong, healthy team.
Work Crew is a vital part of our volunteer team. It began primarily as a role to support our program staff. Over the years it has evolved into investing in young leaders who have great potential. The goal is not that they would become leaders each summer at Charis - LIT’s, then Cabin Leaders, then Program Staff (although that may happen). Our goal, our hope, is that they would become more clear and confident in who God is and who God says they are and learn to live and lead out of their identity and growing maturity in Christ.
