Why Camp?

Connect: Meet people from all over the world who share one mission: to show and share the love of Jesus with everyone they meet. This is your chance to build friendships that truly last a lifetime.

Serve: Being on camp staff means putting others first and showing the love of Jesus through the way we serve. When we love God, it naturally shapes how we care for people.

Lead: Step into leadership as you work with students and families. The skills you gain here will stay with you wherever life takes you—because at TRO, every staff member is a leader.

Grow: Grow into the person God has called you to be while helping others do the same. Camp is challenging, but it’s also one of the most rewarding places you’ll ever serve.
