Marannook, Inc. is a nondenominational, nonprofit organization that was founded in 1975. Marannook directly serves four groups: the training staff, the campers, the high school support staff and the camper families. Of these four, the training staff is our primary ministry focus. We welcome college students to Marannook for the summer, teach them how to study the Word of God, give them time to study, and train them to share the Gospel with children through a camping environment. We serve the campers by providing a fun and safe camping experience in which they hear the truths of Scripture throughout each day they are with us. The counselors relate every camper activity to Scripture, using the activity as an object lesson to teach the day’s Bible passage. The high school support staff learns the importance of service and diligent labor and participates in daily Bible studies to encourage their walk with the Lord. Camper families are served through family camps that encourage building strong families that worship together and are focused on serving God. We have the privilege and responsibility of being a building block in children’s lives. With their exposure to the Word of God and their counselor as a fun and loving godly role model, it is our prayer that the campers will have a fantastic time while gaining a better understanding of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ and a greater grasp for living in Him. At the end of each summer it is our prayer that the college students will be more effective in building God’s kingdom through family, church, and vocation.
