Multiply the Ministry of Camp
Camp Paradise wouldn’t exist without its generous community of volunteers and donors. Since 1976, God has multiplied the ministry of camp through the hearts and hands of people who share a vision to provide experiences for campers of all ages to grow spiritually and relationally in a distraction free wilderness setting. The ministry of Camp Paradise only moves forward on its 1,300+ acres of property when dedicated people sign up and show up to serve every spring, summer, and fall. We’re always looking for skilled, unskilled, and willing and able volunteers to join the team. And if a work week in the woods isn’t for you, prayerfully consider linking arms with us as a financial partner so we can keep multiplying the ministry of camp.
Volunteering
Consider a 3 to 5-day serving trip during spring or fall Work Weeks. Bring a friend or two, serve with your small group, or show up ready to meet new people volunteering their time and skills.
People ages 13-18 can attend but must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
