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 at 4:30 pm 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 Missionaries?

Volunteers pay $100 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 Missionaries fee!
