What to Expect
As a staff member at Sagrada, your main goal, no matter what your job is, will be to share the gospel with our campers. Whether you are a counselor, a cook, an office worker, a maintenance worker, or a camp grandparent, your interactions with the children will be gospel centered. If you are a counselor or helper, you will be sleeping in “open-air” covered wagons and will spend all of your time with your assigned campers. Some activities include, swimming in the lake, hiking, low ropes course, target range, field games, and more! If you are serving in a support role, you will sleep in an air-conditioned room and will spend time with the children as much as you can once your job is complete!
Come serve with us.
