Mission Camp Overview
Our combined Middle School and High School Mission Camp weeks provide a unique and meaningful experience for students in both age groups. We recognize that a 6th grader and a 12th grader are at very different stages of life. That is why our mission camp is intentionally designed to meet students where they are, creating meaningful opportunities for both middle and high school students to serve, grow, build relationships, and experience God at work throughout the week, from the worksite to the evening program and everything in between.
Students will have the opportunity to serve others, build relationships, grow in their faith, and experience what it means to live on mission.
Type of Work:
Students and adults will primarily participate in a home-repair-based mission experience. Projects may include painting, building steps or handrails, wheelchair ramps, yard work, and other home repairs.
Depending on community needs and available opportunities, projects may also include serving at a local food pantry, senior center, children's home, or other non-construction-based ministry.
Specific work projects are determined based on community needs and available opportunities and cannot be guaranteed prior to camp.
Location:
Participants will stay at Hampshire County Park in Romney, WV. The kitchen, dining hall, worship area, bathrooms, and showers are all air-conditioned and are newer construction as of 2022. The bunkhouses are rustic with electricity but no air-conditioning. They are simple cinder block bunkouses with bunk beds throughout. At times, it may get cool at night as the camp is closer to the mountains.
Cost:
$450.00 per person ($150 per person non-refundable deposit due within 14 days of registering)
