Church to Camp

WEEKLY VOLUNTEERS

 

Ness Lake Bible Camp is here to serve the community and church. We can’t run our camp without the many volunteers each year.  
Serving for a week or two allows us to run camp and open more spaces for campers to come.

Church to Camp 

This summer we have several churches that have signed up to help with specific weeks to allow us to increase our capacity. 

If you’d like to serve at camp this summer, there are several different ways. Some areas we can use people are: 

  • Kitchen 
  • Day Camp Leaders 
  • Overnight Cabin Leader

When volunteering, you will need to fill out an application, finish paperwork, and complete training.

You'll be partnered with one of our cabin leaders and stay in a cabin with about 10 kids. You will be involved in activities, Bible Study, and all aspects of camp life from wake up to sleep with a scheduled break. 

Ride the bus out and join one of our leaders with a cabin of kids. You will be involved in activities, Bible Study, and all aspects of camp life. Day Campers are picked up at 7:45 am at Lakes Community Church and dropped off at 4:45pm.

  • Baking cookies and desserts

  • Cleaning and organizing

  • Doing kitchen laundry

One of the most relied-upon roles, a Camp Speaker is needed every week both at our Main Site and at WilderNess. As the Camp Speaker, you will prepare age-sensitive Christian messages in line with Evangelical beliefs, and will speak in chapels for the prescribed number of times during the week. While you will be given time and space during the week to work on your talks, it is also expected that you make meaningful connections with campers by participating in camp activities.

Called upon many times during the day and night, the Health Attendant fulfills a vital role by organizing and administering camper medications, responding to minor health and first aid needs and assisting our first-aid and waterfront personnel with major first aid crises. As the Health Attendant, you will be available to assist with camper health needs 24/7, and will carry a radio at all times. You will also be qualified with one or more of the following licenses:

  • Occupational First Aid (Level 3) - Preferred

  • Emergency Medical Responder

  • Paramedic (PCP / ACP / CCP)

  • Licensed Practical Nurse / Registered Nurse / Nursing Students

  • Physician / Medical Doctor

We demand a lot of our Cabin Team, and providing them with the necessary support is vital to us. As a Camp A-U-G, you will be available 24/7 to assist with homesick campers, children requiring extra care, and children requiring behavior support. You will be expected to carry a radio at all times, and to make meaningful connections with campers, especially those who do have trouble fitting in to camp's rhythm.

We’d love for you to serve with your church first and then if you are intrested in coming out for specific days or weeks we can connect and plan more visits.  

If you are in a cabin overnight you will be staying with one of our leaders and about ten kids.  
If you are serving in one of the other areas we will work with you to decide if we have space for you overnight or if you want to commute either in your own vehicle, carpooling with the church, or on the bus.  

Camp generally only allows service dogs around the camp site.  

Only if they are in a position where they can be supervised, such as having the kid work in the kitchen with you. Cabin leaders would not be able to have their kids with them.
