Staff Volunteering
What makes volunteering at Student Life Camp different? LEADERSHIP.
The Staff Volunteer program is designed for 11th & 12th grade students who are looking to grow in their faith and serve as a leader. This is a great opportunity for youth ministries who are looking for intentional moments to teach their students about servant leadership. When a staff volunteer group arrives at camp, they will quickly be given the title “Staff Volunteer” and will serve with our staff all week long. They will help with load in, check-in, housing, recreation, hospitality, camp store, production, and more! The best part? You will be serving together as a group all week long! This opens the door for milestone moments to take place within your ministry, so that they will go home with your ministry.
If you’re looking for one of the best ways to help your 11th and 12th graders step into their call to servant leadership, then Staff Volunteering at Student Life Camp is for you!

What Are A Staff Volunteer’s Responsibilities?
There are a lot of different things that need to be done each week to have a successful week of camp. Some of the ways that you can expect to serve are…
- Auditorium Load-In and Load-Out of production gear, sets, etc.
- Preparation for Check-In (posting signs, setting up rooms, etc.)
- First day of Camp Check-In (name tags, greeting, parking, etc.)

What Does it Cost to Staff Volunteer?
The cost to Staff Volunteer is $30 per person, which is a fraction of the cost that Student Life incurs hosting each Staff Volunteer. We have found that a nominal fee helps students to take their commitment to serve more seriously.
Where Can We Staff Volunteer?
Staff Volunteer groups are able to serve at nearly every Rec Camp location. In order to provide the best experience and the most intentionality with your group, we only allow one Staff Volunteer group per week of camp, so spots are limited.
When Do We Show Up To Staff Volunteer?
We ask that our groups arrive on the night two days before camp starts (if camp starts on a Monday, arriving on Saturday night), or the night before camp starts. This is dependent on if we need to Load-In to the location that week of camp or not. You would then stay through our Load-Out on the last day of camp, which is typically done by 2:00pm.
We are able to be flexible with your group’s availability if there are minor discrepancies on arrival and departure times.
Can I Bring College Students To Staff Volunteer?
Absolutely! We just ask that all Staff Volunteers have completed at least two years of High School, so college aged students are always welcome as well.
