Hands Mission Camp
Volunteer Job Descriptions
The following are short descriptions for adult volunteer opportunities at Helping Hands Mission Camp. College students are encouraged to join us as leaders – you have great energy and the youth particularly enjoy working with you! We have a wide variety of characteristics required for volunteers, but the most important is a desire to serve. Even if you do not think you have a skill, you have life experiences that are valuable. Taking time to work with youth during camp is so important to them and us. Work site projects have included: handicap ramps, yard cleaning, painting, porch and step replacement, siding, trailer skirting and house cleaning. Another opportunity to serve is in our kitchen or in our day care. There are a few slots open for adults to work with youth teams cooking meals for the camp and caring for the children of volunteers. All adult volunteers are welcome to come to any of our night activities. We do not charge a fee for adult volunteers: your meals, t-shirt and activities are free to you. Our #1 concern is SAFETY. Our #2 concern is allowing youth to do most of the work. Adult
