- About Us -
Camp Is About Relationships
Camp Thurman’s Summer Staff, made up of nearly 300 high-school and older individuals, is what makes the camp experience so special. Over 11 weeks, they serve in various roles, including group leaders, lifeguards, ropes instructors, media, office staff, and more. They create a fun, memorable environment while sharing the Gospel, enjoying the outdoors, and making lasting connections with campers.
”The marines taught me and made me into a good man. But God put me around the people at Camp to help me become a great man and to regain my faith that I had previously lost.”
”I have never had a strong community because I didn’t grow up in church. Getting to be at Camp and to be around people who have the heart to help you pursue Christ is something I haven’t found anywhere else.”
”I come back every summer because of the opportunity I have to serve the kids. Their week of Camp might be the only time throughout the entire year that they get to hear about Christ, and I don’t want to miss the chance to serve them.”
