Volunteer at Maranatha

Impactful – Fun – Community – Servanthood

Why volunteer?

Volunteering at camp allows you to experience the commitment, fun, and community, that is part of being on our ministry team. It is a hands-on, tangible way to live out your faith through service. And there are many kinds of opportunities! Whatever area you serve in as a volunteer, you enable our guests to connect with the Lord and each other, and you are also a huge encouragement to our staff.

 

Basic Expectations

Here is what our volunteer commitment looks like for multi-day youth events:

  • Camp provides meals and lodging (lodging varies based on availability)
  • Volunteers commit to a 7+ hour daily shift
  • As-needed roles (we cannot always guarantee exclusive shifts in a single preferred area)
  • Complete application, sign advance orientation and policy handbook
  • Background check and child abuse prevention training required in advance

For partial day volunteers, we are able to provide 1-2 meals near most shifts, and the shift time may be shorter depending on the event.

For non-youth events, there may be reduced advance-onboarding requirements.

At Maranatha, the Lord works and He provides for his work, and as a volunteer you are His instrument.

Types of Roles

When you apply to volunteer, you will be able to indicate preferred roles from a list. If you need to get an idea of the roles in advance, please refer to the listing of positions on our Summer Ministry Team webpage, as a majority of these areas are also volunteer needs at various times during our events.
