Are you looking for a ministry opportunity to positively affect the lives of young people? We may have what you are looking for. In the course of one week you will have the opportunity to signifcantly influence the lives of disadvantaged children and youth from the San Francisco Bay Area and build incredible relationships with fellow staff members from around North America.

SWATT Teams (Summer Workers with an ATTitude).
A prime ministry opportunity to further develop key youth from your church or organization! There are three areas of involvement:

Practical Ministry Food service, housekeeping, ground maintenance and special projects.

People Ministry Assisting program and counseling staff in building into the campers. There are opportunities for skits and drama at our campfire. Also your staff could be assigned to an activity area.

Practical Ministry Food service, housekeeping, ground maintenance and special projects.

The number of people you bring determines the level of involvement with the camp program. Ideally, your group size should range from 6-14 including one adult leader for every five youth. We prefer the youngest age being 15. If there are concerns about these parameters, please discuss them with us. Email at campmaymac@usa.com, re: SWATT Team

The good news. There is no financial cost to your group. Food and accomodations will be provided while you are at the camp at no charge. You just have to cover your travel, health insurance, and entertainment expenses.

If you are a youth worker...

...then you know what it is like to have an event or mission trip that goes so smooth you know God has been with you. That is what my first trip to Camp MayMac was like for my group and me. I have been in youth ministry for 21 years and I also know what it is like to come to a mission site hoping to involve your students in hands-on work and witness opportunities only to find that everything is unorganized. Well, that was not my experience at Camp MayMac.

My students had a wonderful time working with and getting to know the campers and being involved in work projects around the camp that really made you feel like you were making a difference. Most of my students loved the kitchen duty. The camp staff was great to work with and within a couple of days we felt like we were just a part of the family. The housing facilities were very nice but not so nice that you didn't recognize you were a on a mission trip. My students came prepared to work but ended up really enjoying the time, primarily because the staff was so appreciative.

As a leader I enjoyed the spirit of the camp and just seeing my students interact with the campers. The evening time of singing and drama was a highlight for my students and they were eager to come home and share the music with the rest of my group. I would highly recommend this mission opportunity to your group. It is a very inexpensive way to be involved in ministry to young children from the inner city. We are going back this summer and taking two teams for two different weeks. MayMac has become a regular part of my summer program.
