About
Want to serve at Camp Bighorn but can’t commit to an entire summer? Volunteering may be the option you are looking for! Students, families, or retired couples are common members of our summer volunteer team, serving for one to eight weeks. You may find yourself serving in the kitchen or dish crew, helping with our grounds crew or custodial work, and shuttling students around as a driver. If you are ready to be challenged and blessed in an environment of service, we encourage you to apply. Click the link below to apply or download a printable version!
General Information
- All meals are provided free of charge, and lodging may also be available
- Your time serving will be full, but it will also be fun. In addition to being able to get to know and spend time with other volunteers and staff, you will be able to hike and explore the grounds, attend staff devotionals, enjoy God’s beautiful creation, and potentially jump in on an adventure that camp has to offer. This will be an amazing time that you won’t want to end!
