There is also team training materials included to help prepare your group for the trip. Training your team for the Mountain T.O.P. experience is absolutely crucial. We honor those we are serving when we choose to invest in learning who they are, what their context is, and what assets they bring to the table. Promoting the dignity of all people is of utmost importance to us.


Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the sleeping accommodations like?

Participants stay in cabins on site. These cabins have 10 - 14 rooms with either two sets of bunk beds or two twin beds. There are bathrooms and a common area in each cabin, along with a refrigerator and beautiful porch to enjoy. Participants are responsible for providing their own bedding and towels. During check-in, groups will either be given a cabin or number of rooms to be used by their group. It is up to them to decide how specific rooms are assigned. 

I don’t have any construction experience. Is this a good place for me?

Absolutely! This is why we create Ministry Production Teams (MPTs) so those with little to no skill can be taught by those who do. We see that there are four needs that need to be addressed: physical, social, emotional, and spiritual. While the physical needs will be met through the home repair work, we highly emphasize building relationships with the families. Taking time to get to know the family is important. Additionally, there are always small tasks to help with, including site clean up and safety coordination.

How are meals provided?

Breakfast and dinner are hot meals provided in our Dining Hall, served family style. A cooler lunch will be prepared for you to bring to the work site and to share with the family you are working with. All meals from Sunday dinner to Friday breakfast are provided. Our kitchen staff can accommodate dietary needs and allergies. We ask that if you have dietary lifestyle choices that you assist our kitchen staff by providing some of your own food. Please contact Jacey (jacey@mountain-top.org) with further questions regarding meals.

Do you have wi-fi?

Yes, we do! The signal might not always be reliable in the cabin area, but is available in the Dining Hall, Meeting Side, and Staff Lodge. 

Where exactly am I going, and how do I get there?

The physical address for Camp Cumberland Pines is: 480 Old Hwy 56, Coalmont, TN 37313. We suggest using Google Maps for navigational purposes. You can search “Mountain Top” and it will direct you to the correct place!
