GIVE: VOLUNTEERING AT CAMP
Volunteers love camp and camp loves volunteers! One Body – Many Gifts. St. Paul reminds us that we as a family of God have a deep diversity of gifts and talents. Sharing those gifts with the camp community not only gets a job done, but it helps to introduce and sharpen those skills in others. Volunteers who work at the camps or the VLM office or in their home community build camp and the community. Some of the best ministry in this world is done side by side.
Camp Hiawatha and Camp Vermilion have a long history of people who love to volunteer at camp. As you consider becoming a volunteer consider not only your schedule, but also consider the impact of passing that skill on to the next generation for the benefit of the camps.
