Let's get to work!

I didn't know the value of good o manual labor until that first Training Camp at T Bar M in 1993, but it did set foundations that I continue to use today. The outcome of two hours of painting fences and moving rocks was quite more than two checks on the "to do" list. It is where I (and countless other college and high school students) learned much, much more.

T Bar M Camps is offering that very opportunity for High School students each summer ... and this summer it is growing even more. We are committed to (and excited about) our dedicated Work Crew, comprised of high school students who are eager to serve, lead, and deepen their faith. These students play a vital role in enriching the camp experience for everyone involved. It's a unique opportunity for them to forge connections, gain valuable leadership skills, and leave a lasting impact on our community. And we are confident these all transfer to their daily life way beyond this summer.

It will be an experience that is built on these five components:
--Strengthening their Faith
--Building Community
--Apprenticeship in Service
--Weekly Bible Study
--Leadership Development

(and did we mention it would be so much fun ... words just don't do justice?)

We believe that our summer work crew program offers a unique opportunity for high school students to grow personally, spiritually, and socially while making a tangible difference in the lives of others.

A Full Circle Summer

We can’t begin to describe how much we delight in seeing so many of you walking through the gates in the summer. On Sundays in New Braunfels, we gather with alumni who are bringing their kids to Base Camp or their families to Family Camp. We are humbled and honored and blown away to see what God continues to do here. It seems this summer we are seeing the ripple effects that God has made deep in our hearts for quite a few generations.

Let the Summer Begin!

Maybe your last Training Week at T Bar M was just last summer—or maybe it was decades ago. Either way, you remember the mix of anticipation and excitement that comes with driving through the gates for those first 24 hours. It’s a feeling that never really leaves us. This week, we watched a whole new crew of college students step into that same moment… and it’s a sweet reminder of just how faithful the Lord has been through the years.

Mark your calendars for March 20–22, 2026—a weekend for all alumni to gather and celebrate what God has done in the last 45 years of folks walking through the gates of T Bar M.  We can’t wait to be with you all and hear how the Lord continues to use you, stretch you, and carry you. There is no doubt that we “thank God every time we remember you.”
