VOLUNTEERS

Volunteer applications for Summer 2026 will open December 1st,  2025

Volunteering at summer camp is a rewarding opportunity to show God’s love and grace to children and youth. What better way to model Christian discipleship than to work with campers as they explore their faith. During a week of camp, volunteer counselors help shape camper’s experience and guide them to make good decisions and enjoy all the Plateau has to offer.

There are three ways to volunteer during summer camp:

  1. Camp Counselor for 1 week of camp
  2. Camp Nurse for 1 week of camp
  3. Counselor in Leadership Training for 1 week of camp
