Day Camp Volunteer (Summer Kids Camp)
Day Camp is a one-week summer camp experience for kids entering Kindergarten through 5th grade. This year’s camp will run Monday–Friday, July 6–10, and serves around 100 kids for a week full of fun, faith, and unforgettable memories.
Campers are placed into small groups (“pods”) of about 12–15 kids so they can build friendships and have consistent leaders throughout the week. Each group is led by ~two adult leaders and two teen helpers. Within each group there is an older and younger pod, ex. last year we had Purple Wolves A and Purple Wolves B - one set was older and one set was younger - each room will have both an A and B in it with leaders for each group.
There are many different ways to serve at Day Camp, depending on your gifts and availability. Some volunteers lead camper groups all week, while others serve behind the scenes or at activity stations.
Volunteer opportunities include:
Group Leaders – guide and encourage a group of campers throughout the week
Food Crew – help prepare and serve snacks and lunches for campers
Nurses – provide care for bumps, scrapes, or illness (current nursing license required)
Set-Up Team – help decorate and prepare supplies before camp begins
Clean-Up Crew – reset rooms each day and help with the final tear-down on the last day
Bus Drivers – drive for field trips during the week (likely Tuesday–Thursday)
Nursery Team – care for staff and volunteer children who are too young to attend camp
Game Station Leaders – lead organized camp games
Craft Leaders – guide kids through the daily craft activity
Bible Time Leaders – share the daily Bible story
Worship Leader – lead campers in daily worship
Skit Characters – perform short, fun skits that introduce the day’s theme
Photographers – capture moments and memories throughout the week
Floaters – flexible helpers who jump in wherever needed
Whether you love working directly with kids, helping behind the scenes, or supporting the creative parts of camp, Day Camp has a place for you to serve and help create an incredible week for our campers.
