CAMP MONETO


Less than three months until our workcamp/retreat!! Located in beautiful Brown County, Camp Moneto is our largest church campgrounds in Indiana! Again, we are going to lend our hands to help get this camp into great shape!
Saturday, June 1st through Friday, June 7th, we will be lending our hearts, minds, hands, and time to help build, fix, clean, paint, and make welcome this camp to hundreds of youth, families, church groups, and individuals, to grow closer to Christ and each other! It will be an exciting time to see how we can be home missionaries and see how God can use us! It will be a time to grow in our faith through actions, study and prayer.
What do you need to qualify for this experience? A willing heart and desire to serve Christ! Do you need to have any special skills or experience? No, just a willingness to learn from our volunteers and campground staff who will show you, in a safe way, what and how to do it! If you have special skills or experience, yes, we need you also to lend your skills/experience to do required work and show others how as they help you!
What will be doing? We will clean trails of debris, overgrown bush and trees, patch roads and clear of overgrowth, paint walls, inside and out, tear down a deteriorated cabin deck and rebuild it. Also, replace old costly lights with efficient LED lights, lighted exit signs, GFI outlets, etc. Also, Caulk, caulk, caulk!
Are there any rewards? Yes, the satisfaction of helping others and a job well done! But there is, also, a physical reward of swimming each night in the camp’s spacious pool!
Housing will be in airconditioned lodges with comfortable, hygienic bunkbed mattresses. Showers, toilets, sinks are in the Lodge. Also, there are a limited number of “motel-type rooms” each with its own bathroom if families would like to sleep together (sleeps 4-5).
What if you can’t come for the whole week? No problem! You can come for any length of time. Just don’t like sleeping in bunk beds or any bed but your own? Then you can choose to commute each day. Camp Moneto is about an hour from Southport, through some very scenic countryside.
All three meals will be served by our volunteers. We had no complaints last year about quality or quantity! There will be a price for each meal, and you’ll only be charged for those you eat. Meal prices will be available soon.
Check out more information and have your questions answered at the Student Ministry table located between the restrooms in the Gathering Place! Join us to see what you and Jesus can do together!!!
