GET INVOLVED

Thanks for your interest!

Each year we depend on the generosity of volunteers to keep camp running.  While our paid staff work year round on essential camp functions, the involvement of our valued volunteers helps to keep the grass mowed, build or enhance buildings, produce maple syrup, help in the office and so much more.

Our goal is excellence in Christian Camp ministry and volunteers make the difference!

If you would like to volunteer time or financial resources, please contact us directly at 419 938-3715 or by e-mail at director@phoc.org to discuss ways you can get plugged in.

Outpost Revitalization Project

        We have lots to do at Outpost to be ready for summer!  We could use help with:

                   Framing up an AT shelter

                   Putting wood siding up on two AT shelters that have already been framed.

                   A fresh coat of stain on the Outpost bath house.

                   Wood splitting for Wilderness Camp cooking fires.            

Maple Syrup

        Maple Syrup Season was a great sucess this year.  We bottled over 430 gallons of syrup!  Guess what?  We are already getting ready for next year.  The main thing on the list at the moment is wood splitting. You can contact us here at camp, or email our head of Syrup Operations, Dick Wiles, at rbswiles@embarqmail.com.
