  • Imagination Station (Crafts) Leader
    Prior to Bible Camp, obtain needed materials for the Imagination Station. A leader’s book is provided to guide you in exactly what you need.

  • Games Leader

  • Jr High Program Leader
    Lead the 7th and 8th graders in their own special activities. A book is provided, but you can also adapt for you own needs. Each day will you repeat the program twice, as there will be two groups.
  • Decorating Committee
    Help us decorate the Hall and classrooms to our theme. We need lots of help in this area. It’s a great opportunity for involvement for those who may not be available the week of Bible Camp.
  • Spotlight slideshow & Photographer
    During camp, take pictures for two purposes. The first purpose is for a daily show called “Spotlight Drama”. There is a book that lists what photos to take (for example: kids with a “thumbs up”.) and then insert these photos into a provided power point slide show to present at the end of the day. The second purpose is to take lots of photos and video of all the different stations and activities to put together for a video of the week (about 20 mins in length).
  • Snacks Leader
    Prior to camp, plan and shop for all the snacks for the week. During camp, lead a crew to prepare the snacks and clean up afterwards.
  • Sing and Worship Leader
    Prior to Bible Camp, obtain needed materials for the opening and closing sessions as well as learn all the songs and hand motions and skits. During Bible Camp lead the activities and songs for the opening and closing sessions.

The following volunteer opportunities are available simply by registering and indicating your assignment preference. If you are interested, send an email to youthformation@sticypress.org if you have any questions.

  • Crew Leader
    You get to enjoy Bible Camp along with the kids. You will be assigned 5-7 kids who will be your “crew”. You take them to each of the stations (snacks, games, crafts, etc.) and enjoy the activities with them. You need to enjoy being with the kids and have a great attitude about getting involved. Let your inner kid come alive!
  • Preschool Crew Leader
    Similar to the crew leader, you get to enjoy Bible Camp along with the preschool kids. You will be assigned a small crew (4-5) of preschool children. You help them in all of their activities. You need to enjoy being with the preschoolers and have a great attitude about getting involved. Preschoolers enjoy their own age appropriate activities separate from the rest of camp for most of the day.
  • Assistant Crew Leader
    Support the crew leader (same job description and attitude!). Only for elementary level (not preschool).
  • Station Assistant
    Work at one of the stations helping the leader as needed. This can include setting up the activity, handing out items, crowd control, clean up, etc. Great choice for someone who has a specific interest. Stations include the following:
    • KidVid Cinema – Kids watch films about real kids living the real-life adventure of knowing and following Jesus.
    • Games – Out on the field fun games and cooperative “competitions”. Kids run, jump and even splash. Great for someone who is active, loves being outside (even in the middle of July!) and doesn’t mind getting a little wet!
    • Bible Discovery – Bible Stories come alive in this station (great choice for anyone who likes to act).
    • Imagination Station – Kids make and create in this station. Great choice for someone who loves crafts.
    • Snacks – Snacks are prepared by one group of kids in the morning and eaten by all mid-way through the morning. Helpers help prepare snacks, get them set out at snack time and clean up afterwards.
  • Floater
    Ready at a moment’s notice to fill in wherever he’s needed: as a crew leader, in a station, a “gopher”, sorting, cleaning, etc. It could be anything. Great choice for someone who can only commit to a couple of days of camp.

All volunteers may be asked to attend a volunteer meeting.
