"For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many." Mark 10:45
SERVICE AT CAMP-OF-THE-WOODS
During the months from September to May, CAMP's facilities are used by many different  groups from churches and para-church organizations for conferences and retreats. LIFT students get firsthand experience and training in becoming "servant leaders" through hours spent each weekend serving these conference guests. Tasks including housekeeping, food service and maintenance keep the students busy and provide them with ample opportunities for developing patience and humility.
Students who are accustomed to being in leadership positions, often up on stage leading worship or speaking, find these weekends particularly challenging. Rather than getting recognized and appreciated, much of the dish washing and bathroom cleaning goes unnoticed. God uses these times to help LIFT students realize what true service is - and what a humble, Christ-like attitude looks like.
