This is a week of worship, fun, mission work, Bible study and community-building. We will join groups from all over Virginia for worship and special missions. However, our own group will stay together in our own lodge, all serve together on our assigned mission site, sit together for meals, and work on community-building together. Meanwhile, in free time, students can enjoy the pool, fun activities, an ice cream and coffee shop and having fun together.
Each participant will be given a packet of medical release forms, a code of conduct, other mission camp information and what to pack, in addition to information about the week's Bible theme. We will also need your t-shirt size. There will be a mission camp participant meeting scheduled in June.
