Questions About the Altum Institute Missionary Program?
Anyone over the age of 18 can apply to be a missionary!
This is a difficult question to answer. It very much depends on the season, as missionary duties and responsibilities vary greatly! Please see our Program Summary for more information.
Missionaries commit to live and serve on camp for 15 months, with the option to renew for a second year of missionary service!
Missionaries live in on-camp housing by sex, with a men's and a women's community house. Married missioary couples are housed in individual family housing.
Missionaries receive free room and board (when the dining hall is serving guests!) for the entirety of their commitment. Additionally, missionaries receive a monthly stipend to help cover additional expenses. There are no expenses specifically incurred by a missionary to participate in the year, besides some minimal fundraising we ask to be done once the mission year begins.
