During peak camping season, Camp Hosts often encounter challenges such as managing high visitor volume, resolving campsite disputes, and maintaining cleanliness across multiple sites.

Collaborating with park staff and staying organized can help ensure smooth campground operations and a positive experience for campers.

    Statement of Faith


    The Statement Of Faith outlines the beliefs of TM Camping. All beliefs are listed and founded in God's Word, the Bible.


    Preamble


    TM Camping, in accordance with the historic Baptist tradition, hold to Believers Baptism by Immersion, Liberty of Conscience, the Separation of Church and state, and the Priesthood of the Believer. We also affirm the following distinctive which need emphasis at the present time:


    I. THE AUTHORITY OF SCRIPTURE


    The Bible is the inspired, authoritative and infallible Word of God and is our sole rule of faith and practice. It is the standard by which all human conduct and creeds should be tried.


    II. THE TRINITY


    There is only one true and living God who is manifested in three eternal and coequal person; Father, Son and Holy Spirit. God possesses holiness, omnipotence, omniscience, omnipresence, love, mercy, and all other perfections. All humankind owed to Him supreme faith and obedience.


    III. HUMANKIND


    Humankind has been created in the image of God but through Adam's fall is now sinful, lost and condemned. By deliberate choice all participate in sin which is open rebellion to God's law. Notwithstanding the fall, all human life through creation has value and dignity.


    IV. JUSTIFICATION BY FAITH


    Human beings can be forgiven of sin and justified solely through the redeeming work of Jesus Christ who died for sinners and rose again from the dead. Only by repentance from sin and faith in Jesus Christ the Lord can acceptance with God be attained.


    V. REGENERATION


    Regeneration is the work of the Holy Spirit by which the believer receives a new nature from God. Christian growth or sanctification is the continuation of the new life principle which begins in the new birth.


    VI. THE CHURCH


    The church in its widest sense includes all believers of all ages. The church is manifested visibly in the local body of baptized believers who covenant together to worship, observe the ordinances, and evangelize.


    VII. HUMAN DESTINY


    Jesus Christ will eventually return visibly at which time He will raise the dead and judge all people. Believers will enjoy an eternal state of blessedness in heaven while unbelievers will experience eternal separation from God in hell.


    VIII. EVANGELISM AND SOCIAL CONCERN


    The church has been called to preach the gospel so that individual people can receive salvation. Also the church is to become involved in the improvement of society by advocating biblical principles which militate against poverty, racism, violence, and all forms of injustice against humankind.


    IX. HUMAN SEXUALITY


    God's design is that man and woman either be joined together in a perpetual monogamous relationship or live in a single state. Extra-marital sex, adultery and homosexuality are inconsistent with biblical teaching.


    Faith History


    At TM Camping we desire to have a distinctly Christian atmosphere and influence. Though campers and attendees come from many Christian and non-Christian backgrounds, all are included in chapel services, prayer, devotions, etc. Ministry team members participate in leading campers, attendees and other staff in these and other Christian activities. In addition, no matter where one works, all staff are expected to live exemplary Christian lives before campers and staff alike.



    Specifically, TM Camping mission is the following:


    "TM Camping exists to help people see, know and experience God."


    Our values are:


    Integrity


    "Integrity is doing the right thing even when nobody is watching."


    Safety


    We will seek to protect the safety of our guests and staff.


    Attitude


    "Character is realized not so much in words as in attitude and in actions."


    Saying "YES!"


    We will seek to say "yes" to our guests whenever possible.


    Excellence (Exceeding our guests expectations)


    "Every job is a self-portrait of the person who did it. Autograph your work with excellence."


    Teamwork


    "Together we can accomplish the extraordinary."


    Initiative/Follow Through


    "What can I do to make it better?"


    Out-of-the-box Thinking


    "Can it be done better, more creatively, less expensively?"


    Fun


    "The most wasted of all days is one without laughter"- E.E. Cummings
