Our Goals:

To provide a Christian summer camp opportunity for adults 21 and up who need special assistance which can’t be provided in other camps
To provide respite for parents and siblings.
To provide a humbling and growing experience of Christian community to the staff.

SEEK Camp is a non-denominational Christian camp experience sponsored by the North Texas Conference of the United Methodist Church. Young Adult Camp is held at Prothro Retreat Center in Pottsboro, TX. This 5 day, 4 night camp is composed of 50 campers.

The cost of SEEK Camp is $200 which includes a camp T-Shirt. Returning campers get first priority spots. After the registration deadline those on the waiting list will be invited to join camp as spots come available.

The all volunteer staff is made up of one camp director, one registered nurse, a camp pastor, 25 cabin counselors as well as recreation, music and art coordinators. All staff complete an in service training, application and background check.

Campers are placed in cabins with 7 other campers and 3 or 4 counselors. The needs of the campers vary from just hanging out to taking care of their most personal needs. A counselor is someone who is mature, has a heart for serving and is willing to put the world aside for one week and devote themselves to serve their camper no matter what the cost. 118 hours can be applied toward community service hours for school districts that encourage service to the community. Cost for counselors is paid in total by the churches of the North Texas Conference of the United Methodist Church.
