Volunteers are a vital asset of camp ministry!
During the summer months, many volunteers are needed to assist in preparing and serving meals to the summer campers.
Kitchen volunteers assist in preparing and serving meals for up to 300 campers and staff every day. You should enjoy working with a team of people; possess a positive work ethic, and have a servant’s heart. Hours vary by day or week as scheduled with Food Service Director.
Contact UsWe rely greatly on weekend hosts to give full-time staff a needed break on the weekends during the summer months. Campground hosts work Saturday and Sunday. Duties include greeting guests, operating the waterslide and camp store, cleaning bathrooms and pavilions, and light office duties.
For many summers, we have enjoyed having retired couples from across the U.S. join us for 6-8 weeks of the summer. In addition to serving as weekend campground hosts, volunteers have assisted with registration for summer camp, light maintenance work, office mailings, weeding flower beds, even being staff Grandparents. RV campground site is provided and we work with you to match your gifts and skills..
