Camp Luther

His Kids Camp Volunteer

 Opportunity

His Kids Camp is a Christian residential camp for developmentally challenged individuals ages 13 through older adults.  Campers are paired one-to-one with a specially trained "buddy" who will be their special friend during their time at camp.  Scheduled activities and outdoor experiences are tailored to individual abilities.  At His Camp they boost self esteem and encourage independence.
