Now introducing – AC Work Weekends! We are excited to offer this new way to be involved with camp. Adventurous Christians will offer two work weekends this fall where we invite anyone – skilled or unskilled – to volunteer and help around camp!
These work weekends will be very flexible for families and individuals with the hope of balancing work and play. See below for more details! To register for one of these retreats, contact Lina.

All folks are welcome to volunteer, but the following skills will be put to special work: Carpentry and basic tool user skills, drywall finishing, insulation, plumbing, auto mechanic.
Please note, Adventurous Christians is a rustic environment and requires a certain amount of physical exertion and fitness. All volunteers should be in good health for potential physically rigorous projects.
Work weekends will be free to all volunteers. A donation to camp is appreciated, but not expected.
The newest building at Adventurous Christians is the Portage Haus. This building will lodge families in separate rooms. This is a year-round cabin, and has a common meeting space. It is heated by an outdoor wood boiler for in-floor heat.
Built in 2012, the Bunkhouse is a comfortable housing option at AC. This space will house one family and is heated by a propane heater, and is very close to our outhouses and main lodge.
If you are interested in attending a Work Weekend at Adventurous Christians, please contact Lina. Please include how many people will be attending, any specific skills, and arrival and departure plans.
