Adults Needed at Horton Center This Summer

Specifically nurses and counselors and even campers!!

Each week of the summer we must have a nurse onsite. If you are a nurse or if you know someone who is, please prayerfully consider joining our staff team for a week up at our amazing Outdoor Ministry site, Horton Center, on top of Pine Mountain.

It's a beautiful place to spend a week and help keep everyone safe and healthy.

NOTE: Nurses are paid and room and board is also included.


We are also always looking for good counselors (18+) to volunteer for a week and help with fun, faith formation, and friendship for our campers! 

If you are interested in finding out if you'd be a good fit, please email Tim (see below).


Lastly, you could come up as a camper to our Spring or Fall Work Weekends, our Adult Women's retreat, or bring the whole family to our Family and Friends weekend over Labor day!

See you on the mountain!


Shalom my friends, shalom.
