Summerama is so much more than just a fun place for kids to hang out during a few weeks in the summer. It’s a place for all who are on campus to find out more about Jesus’ love for them, build healthy relationships and watch God work in their lives in big ways! Volunteering is an opportunity for middle school and high school students to learn new skills and explore their leadership potential.

VOLUNTEERS WILL…

  • Help camp staff in the daily running of Summerama.  You might be asked to hang out with kids, clean up after a game, fill water balloons, carry supplies … basically anything the camp leaders need help with.
  • Be assigned to a specific camp group.  These are assigned based on camp needs. Specific request will only be accommodated based on volunteers with special needs.
  • Arrive on time for the daily 9 a.m. volunteer meeting. Volunteers will be dismissed at 3:30 p.m. each day of camp. Parents do not need to sign out their volunteers. If your student needs to leave any time during the day please come to the Kids Office and sign them out. Volunteers who are not picked up at 3:30 p.m. will need to go to Extended Care ($50/week for morning, and $25/week for afternoon).
  • Bring their own lunch.
  • Model good behavior for campers.  Further conduct guidelines will be presented during training.
