CranHill is seeking dedicated students aged 15-17 to embark on a transformative 3-week journey of service, discipleship, and leadership training. As an ACTS (A Call to Serve) participant, you'll have the chance to make a meaningful impact while growing in your faith.

​

What to Expect

​

During your time with us, you'll serve as a volunteer in various areas, including horsemanship, adventure activities, aquatic programs, youth programming, and fulfilling operational needs. This comprehensive experience will empower you to learn, serve, and lead within the CranHill community.

​

Each participant will receive lodging and meals for the entire duration of their stay. This opportunity serves as a stepping stone towards potentially becoming future summer staff, equipping young individuals with the faith and skills to make a lasting difference in the world for Christ. Join fellow believers as you work side by side, leaving an enduring impact on the lives of campers and families.

There is no cost to participate!
