What is the Youth Missions Corps?

It is a time to share talents and abilities with campers, make new friendships, learn new skills, and grow emotionally, socially, and spiritually. This program is for students entering 9th--11th grades, divided into three levels, in which they raise support to be involved in the ministry of CBC.
