Volunteers
Join us for a weekend!
During busy camp weekends from August to May, weekend volunteers make a tremendous difference. Whether you’ve been here a hundred times or never before, we would be delighted to have you jump in to help for a weekend—or more than one!
Want to help?
Volunteers are a key supportive structure at The Wilds. They donate their time and skills to maintain and develop the campsite, and their efforts allow us to minister the Truth of God with the love of God to thousands of campers each year. Whether you’ve been here a hundred times or never before, we would be delighted to have you jump in to help for a day, a weekend, or more!
Short-term work. Long-term impact.
Become a member of The Wilds staff for a weekend! Even with the help of full-time and seasonal staff, we still could use a few extra hands. If you’re looking for a way you can serve at The Wilds for a very short time, we would love to have you!
Who can be a weekend volunteer?
Anyone (18 years of age or older) who is willing to help!

Many hands make light work
Church groups are a main support structure to help The Wilds “get things done.” They play a key role in areas of development such as new projects, maintaining facilities, and adding activities. The groups typically stay for a few days to a week and bring a mix of skill levels, ranging from the helper to the professional. Some groups come at a set time every year, and others come occasionally for specific projects.

We need YOU
The Wilds has many friends of the ministry with diverse and valuable skill sets. When these individuals come and work alongside our maintenance team, they multiply what we are able to accomplish.
