Our History

The strength of this ministry has always been the volunteers who give graciously of their time to serve God and neighbor through Camp Shalom.  Volunteers have built cabins, tilled soil, cooked food, applied band aids on sores, raised money, led programs and mailed summer brochures.  It is a service we depend on and an attitude we hope to nurture in our campers.

You are invited to consider sharing your gifts and talents to help us build a strong community committed to serving.  Choose from these options:


Work Weekend            April 23-24, 2010

A great opportunity to enjoy the beauty of the woods while helping camp prepare for the summer.  Volunteers do general maintenance and building projects led by the Operations Committee and Dwayne Heinrich, maintenance director.  Work on Friday, Saturday, or both days.  Breakfast and lunch are provided and work is done by 3:00 pm.  There is a job for every level of talent. Contact the office if you are interested in helping at office@campshalomia.org.


Can't Make Work Weekend?
Sometimes people would like to help with work at camp, but cannot make a work weekend. There is always a project to do at camp and always a day available to do it. This provides a nice option for people looking for a quiet day of work in the woods. All meals, and special snacks, will be provided. Contact Dwayne Heinrich at dwayne@campshalomia.org.



Bulk Mailings

Mailing newsletters and summer brochures is a rather big process.  But a big process can be transformed into a good time with help.  We need volunteers to help with (3) bulk mailings throughout the year.  Mailings typically last from 9 am to noon.  The day of the week fluctuates.  Volunteers will be called prior to mailing to check availability.


Cooks - Summer 2010

Want to enjoy summer camp and serve?  Volunteer cooks help our Food Service Director, Rose Rowan, prepare and serve meals to the campers.  A total of Three (3) volunteers serve from Monday breakfast thru Wednesday dinner.  Housing is provided in the Charis House.

Board / Committee

Camp, like any other Christian institution, depends upon good stewards.  Stewards manage the affairs of the organization in such a way as to bring joy and life to the children and families who grow through our ministry.  Camp Shalom is looking for good stewards to help us in the following areas:

          Board Service 
          Development Committee
          Finance Committee
          Marketing Committee
          Operations Committee
          Personnel Committee

Board and Committee volunteers serve a (3) year term and can serve up to (2) consecutive terms.
