Thank you for your willingness to serve at Circle of Friends Camp!

There is one final and very important step that every adult volunteer must complete before camp.

Michigan Central Registry Clearance
After you submit your volunteer application, you will be redirected to the Michigan MiLEAP Camps Central Registry Clearance website.

This clearance is required by the State of Michigan for all adult camp volunteers.

It is a pretty quick and easy process.

Step 1: Create Your MiLEAP Account
You will be prompted to create a MiLEAP account. This process is simple and only takes a few minutes.

After creating your account, you will receive an email from MiLEAP with a link to verify your account and log in.

Step 2: Request Your Clearance
Once logged in, click:

"Request Camps Central Registry Clearance"

You will be asked to provide personal identifying information so the State of Michigan can complete the clearance process.

Step 3: Wait for Processing
Most requests are processed within approximately 5 business days.

When your clearance is complete, MiLEAP will notify you and provide access to your clearance letter.

Step 4: Send Us Your Clearance Letter
This step is very important.

Once you receive your clearance letter, please email a copy to:

tyler@thegospelaccessible.com
or
hannah@thegospelaccessible.com
