Mission Camps 'R' Us is a community of Campers, Families and Staff members who come together each summer to create a safe, nurturing environment that supports healthy learning by promoting physical, intellectual, emotional and social growth. We are focused on helping children to build better qualities in themselves, to grow into the best versions of themselves as adults.
Description Whether you’re looking to spend time working with friends, parlay your work experience into some college credit or internship hours, or want to have your evenings and weekends free for social activities, we’ve got the job for you.
