Camp Mephibosheth
at The Ark Christian Ministries in Converse, IN
With God's blessing, Camp Mephibosheth has grown from a small group of campers and volunteers to what it is today, involving a multitude of people in three overnight sessions!
Campers have the chance to get away from their everyday routines and experience many camp activities -- from swimming to horseback riding to archery. We gather for worship twice a day where we sing (and dance!) to the Lord with all our hearts. There is Bible teaching and lessons to keep our focus on God.
Every year, there is something new and unique at camp -- sometimes things are planned and some are surprises! But one thing is for sure, there is love, friendship and fellowship in abundance!

So, what does being a camp companion look like? Well, here are some of things you'd be doing to help your campers get the most out of the experience.
- Meals - Assist campers who need help getting their food and monitor portion size.
- Worship time - sit with your camper at worship and enjoy the freedom to worship how the spirit moves you
- Lessons - Pray with your camper and help them do their lesson books, memorize scriptures and plan skits
- Recreation - Help your camper change for recreation, accompany them to the various recreation opportunities and participate with them where you can. Activities include swimming, canoeing, archery, mud slide, climbing wall, flying squirrel and more!
- Daily care - make sure campers get a shower, get to the nurse to take their medications, get to the restroom, and get ready for bed. Groups will be assigned sleeping quarters either in the cabins or the dormitories in the conference center. You'll be bunking nearby.
