Camp Arnes provides a safe place to “power off” devices and “plug in” to God’s Word and creation for campers.

Every staff member will receive a Camp Staff T-Shirt that they must wear on Mondays and Saturdays. We ask that staff wear modest, non-provocative and weather appropriate clothes throughout the remainder of the week.
