Campers participate in a combination of summer activities and Bible studies led by College of the Ozarks students who serve as staff at Camp Lookout They work for College’s Summer Work Program to offset the cost of their room and board.
“Camp gives counselors another avenue to pursue the calling to spread the Gospel to the children of God,” said psychology major Coleton Woody. “For campers, it means that they have a chance to get together with others their age to learn about what it means to have a God who loves them and to experience that love.”
The week-long camp is filled with fun outdoor activities facilitated by student coordinators. Throughout the week, campers play water sports with the help of the campus fire department, perform comedy skits, swim at the College fitness center pool, and spend a day at Silver Dollar City. Counselors also lead worship and Bible studies with their campers.
