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:

Next Volunteer Opportunity:
Work Weekend Spring: April 18 - 19, 2008
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.
Maintenance
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.

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.

Board Service
Development Committee
