We have Fun!

PASSPORT isn’t camp 365 days a year, but we still love to have fun! 

Working at this national non-profit ministry means that the outcome of our daily goal is to positively impact thousands of young lives in multiple communities around the country and around the globe. We thrive on creativity and collaboration, and while most people imagine we play a lot of games (which we do) and gather around to laugh a lot at work (also true), most of our energy is spent doing the administrative work that thoughtful ministry requires of us. We want all the details of your summer to connect to a larger theme that illustrates the amazing good news of the Gospel of Jesus in our lives AND what a difference embracing the world with God’s love can make!
