Welcome to Cumberland Mountain Outreach Ministries Inc.

 Amazon donations 5% of your order to CMO if you register at smile.amazon.com    Cumberland Mountain Outreach. We will receive your gift quarterly.

 General support contributions are used solely for the purpose of furthering the mission of helping families in poverty to become more self-sufficient and give children hope for their future. PayPal or by mail your gift is greatly needed and appreacited.

All contributions, fees, and travel expenses incurred while participating in CMO's outreach program are tax deductible under current IRS codes. Contact your tax advisor for more information. 

We off-ton say" If you need it so will someone else." All types of donations are needed to meet the high demand here in the Mountains. Please consider donating time, money, clothing, food, personal items, shoes, furniture, vehicle. All donations are tax deductible. 

 Churches groups adopt a house project and donated all of the building materials or money to purchase the building materials. Sometime their fums run short, and have to stop before the job is finished. You can help by sponsoring a group from your church or a family.

 Kids' Day Camp is partially funded by a grant from Americans Helping Americans.  www.helpingamericans.org.

The Grant Covers Food and Swimming pool fees, as you know there is so much more to a kid's camp, that's where you can help, with crafts, swim toys,gas for transportation.

 Work teams come weekly during the summer to work in our rural communities. We find families in need of help or locally initiated grassroots efforts. As a volunteer, you will experience life in another environment by working with local people, eating local foods, and experiencing local hardships and triumphs. Our projects include, but are not limited to, home repair within the capabilities of your volunteer service team. Most projects do not require specific job skill but only a willingness to serve. Your team will select from a list of families, from the Cumberland Mountain Facebook page.

PROJECT RENEWAL
It's difficult for a child to imagine life's possibilities when they live in a house without heat, electricity or running water. With this important program, skilled and non-skilled volunteers work with selected families to affect basic home improvements and repairs. We highly recommend that all participants wear steel-toed boots and long jeans when working on construction projects. 

 Cumberland Mountain Outreach chooses projects that are a high priority and will have a beneficial, long-term impact on the less fortunate in the communities we serve. As an important team member:
- You will learn more about yourself while learning about others.
- You will learn to appreciate the gifts you have been given and how to share your gifts with others.
- You will learn about the power within you to change the world. 

Youth outreach programs include 3 day Day Camp activities/ VBS setting/ swimming in the afternoon. We recommend the same team stay with the children for the three days.

Your team is responsible for Games, Lessens, crafts for a 2 hour period.                    
Teen leadership program provides area youth with the opportunity to explore life's possibilities while putting their talents and skills to work helping your team if needed, and in their community year around. 
 

YOUTH GROUP LEADERSHIP
Adults accompanying any youth group must be 21 years of age or older and have a valid driver's license. It is our recommendation that there be one adult for every five youth.

HEALTH AND ACCIDENT INSURANCE
We require that all participants be covered under a group or individual health/accidental insurance policy. No one can be registered at camp without a copy of insurance and completed waiver forms CMO. (See Forms)

LODGING ASSIGNMENTS
All efforts are made to accommodate your group's special requests. Final lodging assignments are the responsibility of the group leader. We recommend one adult per cabin.

ATTENDANCE
To ensure a positive outreach experience for everyone, all participants make a commitment to be an active part of the entire week's activities. Please plan to arrive early for your week or weekend outreach program and remain through closing ceremonies.

APPROPRIATE DRESS
In keeping with the mission of our outreach, appropriate attire is required. Our clothing guidelines are: no short shorts, no halter or bathing suit-type tops (tank tops are permitted), and no shirts with inappropriate printed material. We highly recommend that all participants wear steel-toed boots and long jeans when working on construction projects.

VISITORS
To ensure a secure and safe experience for everyone, no visitors are permitted at Cumberland Mountain Outreach facilities or at our work sites without prior permission of the your site leader. 

 There never is a completely typical day, but here is an example of what a day at CMO looks like when you are working on a mission project. The day is similar whether working on a building or with a day camp or VBS.
6:30 AM Wake up
7:00 Devotion time
7:30 Family-style breakfast; pack sack lunches
8:00 organize for work site
8:30 On the road
9:00 Arrive at mission work site
4:00 to 5:00 PM Arrive back at CMO campus
5:30 Family-style dinner
6:00 Sharing the day’s experiences
6:30 Camp projects
7:00 Free evening (we recommend local activities such as bowling, clogging, Hiking, camp-fire story telling, Happy top.) we do have tennis courts.

A sample construction day would be a major home repair including, but not limited to construction, roof replacement, 'weatherization,' or other repairs as needed and are within the capability of the volunteer service team.

A sample day of kids' camp would include picking up children, registration, teaching, music, art, playing games, breakfast / lunch, and offering clothing (if needed).  We recommend taking the kids swimming at Natural Bridge State Park; going to a pool is a rare event for them and highly treasured!  

What amenities are available on site?
We have a fully functional commercial kitchen so no need to bring your pot, pans, or cookware. Our dining hall will seat 75 people. We have 3 sets of male and female restrooms on site as well as 2 locations for male/female showers. We have 8 cabins on site and each cabin can sleep up to six people. Our cabins are equipped with electricity, air-conditioning and mattresses. We have tennis courts, a fire pit, and an industrial gas grill, along with carpet ball, Foosball, air hockey, and a mini Gym.

Is there a drugstore and grocery store nearby?
There is a Rite-Aide pharmacy and an IGA within 1 mile of the camp. Save A Lot is about 3 miles.
What else should we know?
Each person is responsible to bring their own linens and pillows. Your group leader  will need to contact Cindy to choose which project you will be working on. Your group will be responsible on choosing a project, providing materials, tools, and transportation.

 Are you open to a pre-visit by me or a couple of people from our church? We might like to look at the facilities, kitchen, sleeping arrangements, etc. and might like to visit the project sites you have mentioned to take measurements and get an idea for supplies. 
We can arrange a pre-visit but ask that you schedule it in advance so there are no conflicts in scheduling for work campers that are already on premise.

Are there activities for us to do at night? 
We can help you with nighttime activities or you can do your own thing. Sunday night we suggest you go out to the work sites to meet the families.  Monday night you can do clogging lessons ( we need to make arrangements for you).  Tuesday night we hang around here, play tennis, volleyball, carpet ball, or have a bonfire by the fire pit.   Wednesday  Devotions at Happy Top it has a walking track, baseball, then stop by Dairy Queen for a snack.  Thursday we recommend you take half a day to see the Natural Bridge State Park (one of the wonders of this area) and there is a pool to cool off in. Don't miss clog dancing at Hoedown Island on Saturday night!  ($3 per person)
