They come to camp to learn to serve others and to become mature Christian leaders. TNT staff are hired to build relationships with these kids through Bible Study, challenge activities, and working side by side with them on work crews. Trail Guides use challenging activities in the outdoors to introduce, emphasize, and reinforce Biblical truths. Trail Guides must be able to instruct and demonstrate backcountry travel skills, as well as lead morning devotions, facilitate evening campfire talks, and challenge campers to live more Christ-like lives. Trail Guides must model a life that is Christ centered and be able to communicate the gospel clearly in a way that high school students can understand.
Wranglers are responsible for everything involved in trail rides and horse activities.
Some of these responsibilities are saddling and unsaddling horses, cleaning tack, riding instruction, leading rides, insuring safety, leading devotionals with groups, and living a Godly life. Wranglers must have a heart for ministry because that is why this program exists. Download a Staff Application.
