Join us on an exciting leadership journey with our S.A.L.T. Members! S.A.L.T. stands for "Service And Leadership Training." These incredible individuals are like superheroes at our camp, passionate about sharing the gospel with younger kids.
In our camp world, S.A.L.T. Members work alongside Camp Counselors, taking on various tasks with dedication and skill. They assist the Program Director in organizing games and learning about responsibility and leadership as they go.
S.A.L.T. Members are more than just backups; they step up when counselors are absent. With thorough training similar to counselors, they ensure the campers are well cared for.
Join the S.A.L.T. crew for a meaningful week of work. Alongside the hustle, we also provide a short downtime during God and I Time or approved breaks. We gather the S.A.L.T. crew for devotions, exploring what it means to serve Jesus wholeheartedly. At Ponderosa, we're not just a camp; we're a caring community focused on your growth in Jesus. Join us to build connections, serve, and glorify the Lord together!
