Volunteer

We would not exist without the dedication of numerous volunteers!

Whether you live in Alaska or another state, if you like to work with children or hammer nails, there is a place to be in ministry for you at Birchwood Camp.

Birchwood Camp is an equal opportunity employer and its programs are open to everyone regardless of race, creed, sex, or national origin.

Volunteers in Mission

Birchwood Camp enjoys the support of individual volunteers and Volunteer in Mission (VIM) teams as an important part of its ministry.

Individuals who volunteer are usually a part of our summer camp season. They may be cooks, nurses, and maintenance volunteers. Others have assisted with maintenance at other times of the year or served as counselors for one or two of our camps.
VIM Teams usually come in the summer for one or two weeks. Teams help out with general maintenance tasks and construction projects. Sometimes teams serve as counselors during our summer camps. To be a VIM or lead a team, please call, write, fax or email us for more information.

Local Volunteers

Deans are the persons responsible for each camp. They recruit counselors, plan and coordinate the program, and supervise the camp week.
Counselors lead small group activities, sleep in the cabins with the campers, and guide campers through the camp program, which lasts 3 to 7 days.
Resource People serve just a few hours to share a particular skill or gift with the camp community, such as storytelling, leading nature hikes or videotaping camp activities.
The Board of Directors is composed of 15 pastors and laypersons who serve one to three-year terms. They volunteer a few hours each month for meetings and other tasks to shape camp policies and oversee camp facilities and programs.
Maintenance help is always appreciated! Carpenters, electricians, plumbers, snow plows, firewood choppers and many others can contribute their skills at all times of the year.

To find out more about these opportunities, please call, write, fax, or e-mail us.

Thanks for supporting the ministry of Birchwood Camp!
