Summer camp staff

Company Description Camp Alandale is a Christian non-profit organization providing mountain camp programs for children ages 9-18 in the Foster Care system. Our mission is to introduce abused and neglected children to the transformative love of Jesus Christ while fostering personal growth and healing. Since 1980, over 4,000 children have been positively impacted through our small, highly supervised camp sessions. Although faith-based, Camp Alandale operates independently of any specific church or denomination and relies on the generous support of individuals, churches, and organizations. Our goal is to create a safe, nurturing environment where children can feel valued and supported.
