Summer Day Camp | Volunteer Sign Up

Summer Day Camp will be the week of July 15 – 19. The theme this year is Start the Party – Celebrate the Good News! People who follow Jesus will always have a reason to celebrate and that’s what we will be doing this year at our Day Camp. The next generation needs you. Will you choose to show them how to celebrate who Jesus is. Will you help point kids to the God who loves them and sent his Son to have a relationship with them?

We are looking for people who want to make a difference in a kid’s life this summer. You can be a youth or an adult to help out. There are a wide variety of roles, from behind-the-scenes to leading a small group and everything in between. Some roles are completed before camp, and some are during the week of camp. This will be a full-day camp from Monday to Thursday and a half-day on Friday where we will end with a hot dog BBQ at lunch time.
