Volunteers needed in various areas
Here are the main areas volunteers help and what they do.
Kitchen helpers
Kitchen Helpers help prepare breakfast, lunch, and supper for campers. Breakfast prep starts at 7am, lunch prep at 10am, and supper prep at 4:00 (times may be adjusted depending on the menu). Kitchen helpers also wash dishes after each meal.
Counselors
Counselors get to hang out with the campers all day and all night. Each counselor is assigned a group of campers for which they are responsible for. Counselors also help lead group activities, devotions, morning watch, vespers, and meal time prayer. Counselors are needed for Trailblazers, Pathfinders, Exploration Crew the week of June 14-20 and Level Up! Game Camp June 12-14.
Camp set up
Camp-set up is also another time to volunteer. Camp set up at Cricket Holler involves several activities. Volunteers may help bring camp items from the storage unit to Cricket Holler. Volunteers also help clean the lodge by wiping out cupboards, cleaning the fridge and oven, sweeping all the floors, and putting camp supplies away. Cabins are also cleaned and checked as well as stocked with toilet paper, soap, and paper towels.
Workshop leaders
Workshop leaders lead the campers in 45 minute workshops teaching them various crafts and activities. Some that we have had recently were: woodworking/making stilts, card making, origami, learning to crochet, making and launching bottle rockets, seashell creations. Anything that is fun, interesting, or a life skill can be a workshop. In previous years, communion bread has been made and check writing has been taught. New workshops this year are car maintenance and animal first aid. The sky’s the limit for creative workshops.
Other areas
Other areas you could participate in are leading songs or telling stories at a campfire. Perhaps lead a drumming circle or teach the campers a special way to pray. Do you participate in a special ministry of the church? You can come share that ministry with the campers. Or perhaps there is a service project you know of that the campers could participate in. If you have an idea to share, I’d love to hear it! Contact Carrie at cdrees23@gmail.com or 937-564-7346
