L.I.F.E. Guard

L.I.F.E. Guard is an opportunity available for high school student leaders (going into 10^th-12^th grades, plus 2010 Senior Graduates) looking for a service-based faith experience at Akita. The acronym L.I.F.E., for "Last Is First Eternal" (Matthew 19:30), is a reminder of the spirit behind the work performed by this group.

A crew of high school students devote one or two camp sessions to serving the camp, campers, and God. By doing much of the behind-the-scenes work that enables camp to run so smoothly for the campers, the participants learn how to give of themselves without seeking any credit or praise. The "Guard experience" is the next step in the pursuit of a deeper understanding of their faith.

Registration will begin on this site beginning March 1, 2010. For additional information, please contact Camp Akita Registration. [Top of Page]
