We are a year-round camping ministry, and it takes many volunteers to help with retreats and camps and do projects to keep camp clean, safe and refreshed! Whether you are handy, can lend a hand or use your hands to wash dishes and help in the kitchen – WE HAVE A PLACE FOR YOU! You can come as an individual or make it a group experience! Volunteers must be at least 14 years old or have an adult chaperone with them.
NOTE: Volunteers that want to work at youth camps/retreats must fill out an application. Do that HERE
