Staff

The desire of the staff at Moose River Outpost is through the work of the Holy Spirit and the relationship built with the camper to introduce them to Jesus Christ or encourage them to fall more in love with His Personhood. It is through the relationship with a staff member that a camper will be introduced to the Love that Christ has for them. A 360 degree approach to ministry assures that the gospel is not limited to just the chapel, devotionals or Bible study times but is lived out through the community of camping, creating an Acts chapter 2 type fellowship.

Secondary to their relationship to the Lord, all staff are highly qualified and trained in their areas of work while at camp. Instruction during activity times comes from knowledgeable yet friendly staff who love that particular activity. Waterfront and Wilderness staff have all passed appropriate courses that a sure safe and profitable experiences for all campers. Replacing inappropriate role models with those of Christian young adults who teens look up to and relate to is our goal at Moose River Outpost. The staff is hand picked and come back each year from all over world to serve at camp.

The leadership staff at Moose River Outpost is committed to creating an environment that is relevant, safe, and unique for every individual that comes to camp. Much thought and preparation is put into planning evening activities and special events each with the specific goal of pointing to the Creator of heaven and earth. Leadership’s job at camp is to minister to the lives of the summer workers and in so doing, impacting the lives of the campers through that same summer staff.
