Volunteer Opportunities
Simply put, Aldersgate does not exist as it does today, without the incredible support that our volunteers provide. A great way to get involved is to organize a volunteer work crew from your church or business. The biggest need for the coming year is pressure washing, firewood cutting, trail/ campfire spot clearing, spring cleaning and carpentry projects. Camp can accommodate work crews of up to 25 people, ages 12+. Call to discuss projects and dates!
There are also lots of great ways as an individual to volunteer, commit to volunteering once a week, once a month, or once a year!:
Camping Advocate: Arguably the best way to help us out, is to help get the word about camp out there. If you would be interested in leading a camp sunday at your church (we can provide you with everything you need). Or maybe you have a business where we could put our brochures and fliers?
Grass Ninja: That’s right….when the time of year is right, we could really use someone to mow and “weed-whack”. This adult volunteer will use our equipment. It typically takes 6 to 8 hours to complete these tasks. Every time a volunteer does this for us, we can keep working on worship service planning, marketing, staff/camper recruitment, staff training, etc…this is a HUGE HELP!
Sunday Check In: We always need extra helpers on Sunday Afternoons during the summer for Check In- helping folks with parking cars, running a station, or helping campers carry luggage.
Eagle Scout Projects: Aldersgate is a great location to leave your mark with an eagle scout project. Several features on Aldersgate’s property were designed and built by Eagle Scouts!
Green Thumbs: We need a volunteer who would be willing to plant and maintain the flower beds around Aldersgate.
Housekeeping: We can always use help cleaning. Camp is used for ministry most weekends of the year. After each group leaves camp, all the buildings need cleaned and disinfected. If you would be interested in helping once a week, once a month, or even once a year for a big cleaning day…..let us know.
Musicians: We would love to develop a list of individuals and bands that we could call upon to lead worship at camp. Individual musicians would need to be able to play guitar or keyboard. We will have certain songs we request and need, but the musician(s) will be able to fill in the playlist with cover songs and/or music they have written.
