In addition to providing a great experience for the campers, Special Friends Camp is a wonderful opportunity for young people to work on the camp staff.
Each summer, about 60 young people invest two weeks to work as Special Friends Camp Counselors. With a staff to camper ratio of 1 to 3, they form lasting bonds with campers and learn that they receive through selfless giving to campers who need their help. Counselors grow closer to God and to each other as they tap hidden resources they didn't know they had.
