For High Schoolers

Here is a list of different tracks you can choose for the High School camp at MFUGE.  We will be staying in New Orleans this year.  Everyone attending camp needs to pick their top three choices. Everyone needs  to pick something that they enjoy doing, but also pick something that is a little challenging.  Each track has its challenges.  I encourage everyone to pick something more social.  Painting, Construction and Yardwork, is a great ministry, but this track is not for mature Christians.  This is usually for students who are not good at sharing their faith, so unless you feel God calling you to this ministry, try not to sign up for this track.

Children’s Ministry
This ministry track involves working with children in a variety of settings including: Vacation Bible Schools,
Backyard Bible Clubs, Day Camps, and other site-specific work with children. The purpose of this track is to minister to children, providing your students with the opportunity to teach and lead children through Bible
stories, games, crafts, and music.
Social Ministry
This ministry track provides students a variety of ministry opportunities for meeting the physical, emotional,
