Camp Conquest is a Christian overnight camp that encourages individuals affected by disability to try new things they never imagined possible. As they conquer activities like a 2‑story rock wall, gliding down a zip line, canoeing, or horseback riding, campers build confidence that will shape the rest of their lives. We serve ages 6 and up. Cabin Staff will oversee a group of 4–5 campers as well as 4–5 volunteers.
Campers and volunteers are paired in a 1:1 ratio for one week. Come join our team and serve others as the hands and feet of Christ.
