Year Round Staff
Beacon's year-round staff (On-Site) team comprises the bulk of Friends of Beacon's mission: we support Beacon to fund these positions and allow the staff to focus on their roles at camp. As of the beginning of 2021, the year-round staff were transitioned from ministry volunteers to employees. Support for these positions continues to be necessary regardless of this transition.
By supporting our year-round positions, you are reaching to the very core of Beacon's ministry. We are able to reduce the burden on our staff, which then allows them to focus on the most important task: running a Christian camping facility that boldly proclaims the Good News of Jesus Christ.
