Staffer Stories
Why I Work PASSPORT: Katherine Mullen
My time as a PASSPORT staffer taught me that Christ-like love is more evident in our world than we realize. At camp, this wonderful example of Christ-like love manifests in the hearts of young people and spreads like wildfire through the week.
Why I Work PASSPORT: Jackson McCarthy
PASSPORT is…family. No matter your age, gender, race, or social status—if you know PASSPORT, if you have been a camper, or have been on staff—you are part of our family, and it’s a strong family.
Why I Work PASSPORT: Wyahee Tucrkile
My favorite memory from working this past summer was mission site time. I was able to see my campers in a whole new light. They were confident and bold. Hearing their testimonies at the end of each week reminded me why I applied in the first place.
Why I Work PASSPORT: Jeffrey Dunkerley
I witnessed Christ through all the campers and chaperones, as well as other staffers. I gained experience about what ministry looks like, something I would have never have dreamed of pursuing back in high school. Above all, I got to have fun all summer.
Why I Work PASSPORT: Zoe Bolen
Work. PASSPORT. It challenges you in beautiful ways and brings amazing people into your life that understand you and your journey. It provides you with a community that lasts after the summer ends and into the fall.
Why I Work PASSPORT: Rebekah Gordon
One of the best parts about working camp is the community you find with your staff. My favorite memory was when my whole staff got together and sang karaoke, pretty badly I might add, belting out anything from High School Musical to classic rock.

Why I Work PASSPORT: John Turner
Growing up and being a camper, I knew thought it would be so cool to be one of the staffers. But as I got older, I realized there was a meaning that was much bigger than that. I knew that if I worked as a staffer, I had the chance to change the lives of youth that attended PASSPORT.
