Get Involved

It takes many hands to keep Camp Camrec running.

Workdays

During our Fall and Spring workday events, we depend on volunteers to cut firewood, clean, clear brush, maintain trails, repair and remodel facilities. It’s a lot of work and we always appreciate extra help to not only lighten the load, but to make work more fun!

Summer Staff

We need cooks, counselors, pastors, nurses, artists, story tellers, song leaders, lifeguards, and naturalists for our camp programs. Every year we have a few positions for high school age counselors in training (CITs) with leadership qualities and enthusiam. Otherwise we carefully recruit mature staff from colleges, universities, and our Washington Mennonite Fellowship (WMF) churches. In 2010, we are planning to share summer staff with Drift Creek Camp in Oregon. In fact, we have altered our summer schedule slightly so that it will be possible for staff to get two months of summer of employment by starting at Drift Creek and ending at Camrec. Of course, it is still possible to just serve on staff at Camrec for a week or two.

Parent Participation

Our pre-junior camp relies heavily on parent participation. This camp is scheduled over a weekend so that parents can accompany their children to camp. Parent involvement is a lot of fun and helps to keep our registration fees low.

Other Ways To Get Involved

We need graphic designers, photogaphers and writers to publicize our events. We need folks with tech support, business, legal, and environmental knowledge. We need folks to sit on committees, plan programs, recruit volunteers…
Just tell us your skills & interests and we’ll find the job that’s right for you!
