What do Missionaries do at Camp Conquest?

• Missionaries commit to serving at camp from Sunday afternoon through Saturday morning. You will be paired with a camper and work with them to meet their physical, social, and emotional needs throughout the week. Including a lot of fun activities with your cabin! 

​

How old do I have to be to serve at camp?

• Missionaries must be 15 years of age by June 1 to serve at camp.

• Jr. Missionaries must be 13 years of age by June 1 to serve at camp. 

​

Do I need experience working with people with disabilities or special needs?

• Nope! Missionaries arrive at camp on Sunday before the campers arrive on Monday evening and go through training specific to working at camp. Our trained staff is also there to help throughout the week. 

​

What is the fee to be a Missionary?

• Missionaries pay $125 per week. Camp Conquest is a nonprofit, and this helps to cover the cost of all meals, snacks, national background checks (18+), and other expenses. Please reach out to us if you need help covering the Missionary fee!

​

Can I serve more than one week?

​

Is there anything I shouldn't bring to camp?
