* Board Member

* Grounds & Maintenance Helper

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.

Annual 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.
