Camp Staff

If you would like to serve at one or more of the camps this summer, please see the following lists of needs and contact your local church for background screening and permission. Each church may have a different process of screening, but because of the number of volunteers we use each week it is impossible for us to know the character of each individual. We ask each church to take responsibility for knowing the character of every volunteer they send.

Requirements

Faith: Must be a follower of Christ involved and in good standing with his/her local church.
Age: Must be 18 at the time of service.
Character: The local church must be able to confidently endorse the volunteer’s ability to serve at camp and work with minors.
Time: Volunteers are asked to be present for the entire week of camp.
Cost: At this time there is no cost to the individual. Churches that send staff to week-long camps are encouraged to help offset the cost of their attendance. A suggested payment of $40 per staff member will help a great deal. However, not all volunteers are accepted if all of the staffing needs are met.
Vacancies: Should a church be unable to find qualified staff to lead their campers, they may request the assistance of another SDAG church for a partnership. This arrangement must take place prior to arrival at camp. Parents must be informed that their children will be under the care of someone from another church.

Staff Needs

Guides: Individuals who have close mentoring relationships with the campers
Kitchen: People who will cook, serve, and clean in the cafeteria
Recreation: Those who will setup and run the activities of camp
Support Staff: Individuals who will serve in a variety of roles such as first aid provider or life guard.
