The month of October at Mountain T.O.P. is full of impact! Our Adults in Ministry volunteers are dedicated to serving through home repair and hosting the Fall Festival. We are so grateful for our volunteers who show up, serve wholeheartedly, and sustain the good work we’re doing in the community.

This was my first trip to Mountain T.O.P., so I was a rookie, but I felt welcomed by all of the team and the fabulous staff. I am hopeful this was the first of many such trips in my future.

When I arrived at Redeemer in 2001, a newly minted associate pastor, I was asked if I wanted to accompany the youth on a trip to Tennessee. I was young and up for just about anything, so I said, "Sure!"

Mountain T.O.P. is one of my most favorite places on earth because I have always felt safe and loved there. I don’t say that with a specific location in mind—I was a camper from 1993 to 1997 and on summer staff in 1999. I believe I stayed at every single camp the organization used in the 90s.

My summer at Mountain T.O.P. was the most intense and rewarding of my life. I loved getting to “peek behind the curtain” and see what all goes into creating positive experiences for the campers and homeowners alike.
