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.
For many years we have had amazing Program Staff, Cabin Leaders, LIT’s and Work Crew work together to make camp happen. There is always the tension of running the camp and at the same time training up leaders and making disciples. A few years ago we made the small but intentional shift to focus our attention and energy into ‘Inspiring and Releasing Young Leaders into their Kingdom Potential’. Our philosophy is, “If mom and dad win, kids win...if our team wins, campers win!”
Our Plan
Work Crew is a vital part of our summer camp. 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.

Our Plan
- Identify Young Leaders
- Invite them into all God has for them (begin with inviting them into our community and roles that they can learn and grow in)
- Inspire them
- Invest in them

Here is what you need to know about Work Crew!
- We usually take 8 guys and 8 girls for our Work Crew Team in the Summer.
- They attend a 1-day training on the Friday before Teen Camp, then return on Sunday as a Teen Camper. All the Work Crew will be in the same cabin to begin building relationships with each other and their work crew Leader.
- We believe that serving together develops the deepest and richest friendships.
- You will learn to serve, learn our values (Hospitality, Responsible, Focused, Gracious and Direct) and be challenged to grow.
- Your leader will also be available to support and pray for you.
- You will be personally invited to our The Weekend Retreat in September, our Staff Christmas Party in December and our Youth Leadership Summit in the Spring.
- We are committed to continuing to grow this camp and learn to inspire and invest in our leaders so they will become clear and confident in who God is and who God says they are. We believe the best leaders are those who live and lead from their identity in God.
