ROMANS 10:14-15
"How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!""

That's totally fine! As long as you bring a positive attitude and a spirit ready for service, we can train you on everything you need to know.
We understand that although you'd love to work at a camp, you also have a family who would love to see you, too! As long as you let us know at the beginning of the summer, you are more than welcome to take a week off where need be.
Want to work at Camp but also need to knock out those pesky internship requirements? We've got you covered! Send an email to info@triplerranch.org to look into the possibilities.
Staff are required to be on camp each Sunday by 3pm. Campers leave at 6pm each Friday. Outside of a few restrictions, what you do with the time in between is your own!
We understand that our staff love the ranch and want others to enjoy it, too! During the week though, visitors can become a major distraction from the ministry we are working to accomplish. So, family and friends are only welcome to come out during time off while campers are not here.
Once summer gets a little bit closer, a packing list will be sent your way.
