Mark is the Founder & CEO of Camp Conquest, an overnight camp for children and adults with special needs and disabilities in Millington, TN. He and his wife, Amanda, are blessed with 5 great kids, ages 15 to 27, and 2 grandchildren. Mark and his family live in Arlington, TN. He grew up in Dallas, TX, where his parents took in 28 foster children when he was growing up, and several had a special need or disability. His message is that camp builds confidence, community, and social interaction.
Call to Action: Since we require a 1:1 ratio (camper: counselor), we need lots of volunteers to help make camp safe and fun. We need volunteers, ages 13 - 65. For more information on how to volunteer contact Camp Conquest on their website.
