Meet our Camp Staff
At Front Range Camping, every camper is known, supported, and intentionally led. Each age group has a dedicated leadership team committed to creating a meaningful and memorable week.
Our Camp Pastors shepherd the spiritual life of camp for their age group. Through engaging teaching, authentic worship, and personal conversations, they help campers explore faith in ways that are relevant, honest, and rooted in Scripture.
Our All-Camp Worship Leader organizes and recruits volunteers for the worship team and makes song selections for all age groups at camp. Our worship leader guides us in vibrant, meaningful worship that brings all ages together in shared praise throughout the week.
Our Camp Coordinators bring energy and organization to the daily experience. They oversee activities, build team connection, and ensure that every part of the schedule supports both fun and formation.
The Camp Craft Coordinator creates hands-on, creative experiences that allow campers to reflect, express themselves, and take home tangible reminders of what God is doing in their lives.
Overseeing it all, our Camp Directors provide vision, pastoral care, administrative support, and leadership to ensure the week runs smoothly and stays grounded in our mission.
Together, this team creates a safe, Christ-centered environment where campers encounter Jesus, grow in their faith, build lasting friendships, and have fun.
