Benefits of serving:

Positive impact on others
-
Personal growth and challenge

Opportunity to share your gifts and talents
No special skills are needed - just a willingness to say yes, and let God work through you. For more information on how to get involved: Camp office – Call 884-6207 or email camps@first-pres.org.
