Camp Y.E.S. Volunteer Application Form 2024

1

Thank you for considering volunteering at Camp Y.E.S.!

Every year we need a variety of volunteers, kitchen staff, workers, and counselors for the ministry of Camp Y.E.S. to succeed.

Would you be willing to make a difference in a young person’s life this summer?

If you have not done so yet, pray! Pray and ask the Lord if He would have you come and minister to young people this summer. Has the Lord placed a burden in your heart for the lives and souls of children and teens? The Lord could use you as a counselor! One week of your time can impact a young life forever! Maybe you feel that you are not prepared for that, or you are still too young. You can still be of a great help! Pray about helping as a worker: train to have a servant’s heart. You could work in serving tables and helping with the cleanup. We always need young people with a good attitude and a willing heart to help set up for games and do minor repairs around the property. Do you have cooking skills? You could be a kitchen worker and with a cheerful smile, you can minister to the camper’s physical as well as spiritual needs. We need: nurses, lifeguards, musicians, maintenance workers, and even supervising leaders for our work staff! There is a job for you! Will you pray? As soon as God gives you the green light, start preparing! If you have questions, talk to your Pastor or Youth Leader.

This application form is the start of the process. Once we receive your application, we will email you with an acknowledgement. Your name will be submitted to Pastor Doug McClain for review. Once your application has been approved by him, you will receive another email or phone call confirming your acceptance as a volunteer at camp this year.

Please be aware that just applying is not a confirmation of your working at camp.
