Crazy fun

Powerful purpose

Best camp ever

“So the last will be first, and the first last.” (Matthew 20:16, ESV)

Work Crew is a volunteer discipleship program designed to create an environment for growth in Christ for a young man or woman through the experience of work and service. Participants must apply and interview to participate in the program due to the limited number of spots.

This program is for graduating high school seniors who will spend five weeks in Colorado at Sky Ranch Ute Trail or Sky Ranch Horn Creek, working alongside program mentors. It is challenging work with the purpose of growing and being molded into servant-leaders. Our hope is that as they enter the next phase of life, participants will be better prepared as college freshmen to live out what they believe.
