Volunteer Role Descriptions
Check-in: Work our registration table and get these campers started on the right foot. You will help check in the campers and walk them through the registration process.
Registration Nurse: One of the registration elements is running a health check on each camper. We need nurses to help sign in medications, check for lice, and gather health screen forms.
Luggage Team: To best help families move through the registration stages efficiently, the campers drop off their luggage first. The luggage team tags the camper’s bags and transports them to the proper cabin.
Parking Lot Assistant: With over 30 families dropping off their kids, the parking lot can become a bit of a busy area. The parking lot assistant will be there to help guide cars to maximize the space available.
Welcome Team: Hype up the campers by cheering and welcoming them to Signs of Hope Camp. Campers arrive with all sorts of emotions and feelings, and help ease their first day by being a welcoming smile.
In order to make sure each counselor has an hour to themselves, we need your help! Become an honorary member of a cabin and assist our counselors in getting their campers to each activity. You will be paired with a cabin and have the opportunity to get to know the campers and participate in the day’s activities. Finish the day at the pool or waterslide, bring your swimsuit if desired! You can choose which day of the camp you would like to be a part of.
A picture says a thousand words….will you help us tell our camp story. We are looking for those passionate about photography, whether a novice or professional we are looking for individuals to artistically document a camper’s experience that week. In addition to still photos, we would LOVE some video!
We capture moments of each activity for every camper throughout the day. At the end of the week, we compile the pictures into scrapbooks for them to take home and remember their time at camp. Help us capture camp through the eyes of a camper.
Check out: Help us say goodbye. Some parents will be early, others not quite…help us keep everyone safe until picked up.
Camp Pack Up & Clean-Up: If you have ever seen a child’s room with clothes thrown about, a picture that by 60. Whether it’s the girl’s or the boy’s cabins assist our counselors in getting everything packed up and cleaned up. Help us wrap up camp by cleaning up the cabins and making sure every camper has their belongings together ready to head home.
Parking Lot Assistant: With over 30 families dropping off their kids, the parking lot can become a bit of a busy area. The parking lot assistant will be there to help guide cars to maximize the space available.
Luggage Check Out: Help transport campers’ luggage from their cabin to the field for parents to easily grab and check out.
