Overview

Camp Kulaqua is in High Springs, Florida, and is one of our many efforts based in North America. Each year, Maranatha works with organizations in the United States and Canada to provide volunteer labor for various construction or renovation projects.

Volunteers on this project will help with the completion of the camp’s new amphitheater. This will include the construction of permanent seating, installation of an electrical system, and some carpentry work. Volunteers will help with the building of the equestrian arena and assist with remodeling cabins, as well as interior and exterior work.
