Walcamp
is overflowing with opportunities to share your time and
talents as a volunteer worker in God's great outdoors. If
you have ever served as a volunteer at Walcamp, you already
know what a blessing it is. Those with skills and experience
in carpentry, plumbing, and electricity are especially a
necessity for certain projects, but the only requirement
for volunteers is a desire to serve Jesus Christ through
service to Walcamp Outdoor Ministries. Here are some of
the ways you can serve:
* Board Member
* Board of Ambassadors
* Contact person for my church
* Handicamp Servant
* Grounds & Maintenance Helper
* Kitchen Helper
* Office Helper
* Outdoor Education Teacher
* Worker Bee
* Nurse/Medic
* Junior Servant
* Fall Festival Worker
* Golf Outing Worker
* Annual Dinner & Auction Worker
Service Opportunities
By working with a Thrivent
Chapter, you can make an even bigger difference. Some projects
and service activities may be eligible for funding from
Thrivent
Financial for Lutherans to buy materials and supplies,
such as log splitters, lumber and paint. Here are some of
the many opportunites you can help out at Walcamp:
Servant Events/ Work
Projects – Walcamp has a list of over a dozen
much-needed projects that are great opportunities for your
family, youth group, or Eagle Scout project. Servant projects
are some of the best ways to spend time and grow with family
and friends.
Special
Events – Join the many volunteers who pitch
in once a year with Walcamp’s annual events, such
as the Annual Golf Outing, and the Annual Dinner & Auction,
and Fall Festival
Fund Raising Projects –
Your group can conduct a fund raising project such as a
car wash, garage sale, spaghetti dinner, bake sale, or corn
roast to help Walcamp buy things such as canoes, a 4-wheeler
(ATV) for emergencies in the woods and other uses around
camp,
Handicamp
– You can help adults and children with developmental
disabilities by being paired with a camper for a Handicamp
week or weekend, creating a great camp experience for both
you and your buddy.
Junior
Servants (15 years of age or older) are a vital
part of Walcamp’s summer program and work with counselors
and campers to complete daily responsibilities. You will
spend a week or two free of charge at camp as a volunteer.
It’s a great way to grow in your faith and have fun.
Camp Nurse/Medic
of the Week (currently certified RN, doctor, or EMT, etc.)
is responsible for all the camper health forms. They review
the information, screen the children when they come into
camp, disseminate the medical information to staff as necessary,
and dispense daily medications.
Kitchen
Volunteers help in the kitchen cooking, washing
dishes, and keeping the kitchen up to health code standards,
providing the much-needed behind-the-scenes support for
Walcamp.
Maintenance
Volunteers are needed in many areas, and help with
lawn mowing, plumbing, building repairs, tree trimming,
log splitting, etc. In the area of maintenance, we can never
have too many qualified helping hands at Walcamp.
Worker
Bees help with hands-on service activities, such
as clearing trees and brush and doing trail maintenance,
building wheelchair ramps, doing gardening, building small
shed or wood boxes for storing dry fire wood, painting picnic
tables or a bath house.
Office
Helpers are needed on a bi-monthly basis to assist
with our bulk mailings - a perfect job for a group of retired
or semi-retired men and women.
