Special Friends

Develop relationships with special needs adults.

A great local mission opportunity to share Christ’s love by being a caring presence in the life of a special needs adult. Come individually or as a group. Volunteers are welcome to stay overnight on the grounds for the week free of charge. All meals are included. After campers leave for the day, you are free to participate in fellowship activities with other staff and volunteers.
