Serve as a Host Family!
We are hosting "Mega Week" for Eagle Lake Camp 2025 which means we are hosting TWO teams of Eagle Lake counselors in order to take on 200 campers! We are looking for families, couples, or individuals that are willing to offer rest and encouragement to these counselors.
What will I have to do?
- Provide sleeping spaces in bedrooms or finished basements (separate beds are necessary).
- Counselors can share a room, but they cannot share a bed.
- You will host two to three counselors (your choice) from Saturday, July 19th to Saturday, July 26th.
- You will meet your counselors on Saturday, July 19th (more details shared later) and will take them home with you.
- Provide dinner on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday.
- This does not have to be an extravagant meal, nor are you required to be present. The counselors will be tired by the time they get home for dinner.
- Provide breakfast daily before the staff arrives on site at 7:30am.
- This can be a grab and go breakfast or as simple as cereal.
- Your presence is not required.
- Provide a packed lunch on Saturday, July 26th as the counselors depart our city.
- We need 16-20 host homes and would love for you to participate in this extremely rewarding service opportunity!
