Volunteers
Help sustain camping ministry by volunteering your time and talents! Learn more about how to volunteer below.
Why Volunteer?
Because what you do matters. The work you step into, whether it’s preparing spaces, helping with projects, or supporting behind-the-scenes operations, directly impacts the campers, families, and guests who come to Covenant Harbor. You may not see every result, but you’ll be part of something bigger. A cabin ready for a camper’s first week away from home. A space where friendships begin. A place where faith can grow. Your time helps make all of that possible. Join Us. Whether you come on your own, as part of a group, with friends, or as a family, there’s a place for you here. Come be part of the work that prepares camp for summer. Come serve. Come connect. Come belong.

A Day That Feels Different
There’s something unique about serving at camp.
You’ll work hard, yes but you’ll also laugh, build relationships, and leave knowing your time was well spent.
It’s a chance to step away from your normal routine and invest in something that lasts beyond a single day.
What to Expect
Volunteer days are hands-on, purposeful, and rooted in community.
You can expect:
- A variety of indoor and outdoor projects
- Clear direction and support from camp staff
- Time to connect with others serving alongside you
- Meals provided during the work day
- A meaningful way to give back
No special skills required just a willingness to jump in and help. Individuals, church and school groups, scouts, non-profit and for-profit organizations and companies are all welcome to lend a hand.

Summer Camp Volunteer
We are looking for volunteers to serve as a part of summer camp. Specifically, we need people to spend a week or more (Sunday afternoon till Friday afternoon) serving as a counselor or certified lifeguard. We ask that you are over the age of 17 and may be compensated depending on your position!
All campers in summer programs are in Covenant Harbor’s legal care. Every volunteer counselor and volunteer lifeguard must complete the following application steps and be approved before arriving at camp:
1. Complete this volunteer application
2. Please send this link to three references and ask them to complete the form. (Covenant Harbor alumni staff from 2019-2021 only need two references.)
Once you have submitted your volunteer application, the Youth Ministry staff will contact you to complete the remaining steps:
3. Phone conversation with Youth Ministry staff
4. Clear a background check
5. Confirm date/arrival time
General Volunteer
In addition to Covenant Harbor’s summer camp staff needs, we continue to welcome volunteer help with maintenance and grounds, guests relations, serving meals, donor relations and more.
Opportunities to serve vary in time and skill, and you can volunteer once, here and there or on a consistent or regular basis. There are volunteer opportunities for everyone including groups, students, families and adults.
If you are interested in serving as a general volunteer at camp, please complete this online form.
