Serve with us! |
|
Every year, Covenant Bible Camp is staffed by former campers, CYAK team members, Alaska Christian College students, Aarigaa leaders, youth workers, church members, short-term missionaries, and more.
We need you!We rely on volunteers who are willing to serve their time and energy to make camp the best experience possible.
Every summer we seek qualified volunteers to serve as: counselors, cooks (and kitchen help), MacGuyver maintenance people, worship leaders (we do acoustic), speakers, mechanics, office gurus, fire builders, life guards, nurses, photographers, games leader, arts and crafts directors, and more... In addition, we need Junior Staff - campers from Western Alaska, ages 15 (or have completed 9th grade) - 18, who volunteer to serve for Trailblazers and Pathfinders. A Junior Staffer must be willing and able to work with younger youth and to be a role model. They must attend Covenant Bible Camp in the current year and demonstrate maturity and leadership potential as a camper and be involved in a local church congregation. If you think you can fill one of these positions: Apply now! Want to help but can't make it to Unalakleet? There are always ways that people can serve even when you are not in Unalakleet! Contact us to learn if there are any opportunities to serve in a remote capacity.
