Support Raising Information
We view serving at camp like a short-term missions trip. You will raise financial support from donors in your churches, families, etc. to help fund you to serve on the mission field - in this case, that's camp! We will provide you with all the tools you need to do support raising so that you can be financially equipped to serve at camp and make an eternal impact in the lives of each camper!

Applicants serving for the full camp season should aim to raise $4,000 in order to cover room and board costs and recieve a minumum wage. Summer wages may vary according to the amount of financial support raised.

Summer staff will receive their summer wage bi-weekly and an 8% administrative fee is deducted from your total amount raised.
