General Volunteer Information
Commitment & Responsibilities
Volunteers must attend the “Sunday Show” on July 12th, a one-hour training session led by the camp’s Volunteer Director.
Volunteers are encouraged to serve the full camp week (July 13th-17th) for the best experience, but we understand that schedules vary. We’ll work with you to find a role that fits your availability. Hours are Monday-Thursday 8:00-5:00 and Friday 8:00-12:00, with a Family Fun Day Party immediately following dismissal on Friday.
Full-week volunteers are preferred, but we welcome part-time volunteers. Let us know your availability when you register.
Responsibilities vary by role but may include greeting campers and families, assisting with activities, supervising campers, serving meals, ensuring safety, and helping with set-up or clean-up.

If you would like to serve on a team that helps kids with one-on-one Gospel conversations, there will be training provided for Gospel Wednesday, so please let us know.
No. A trained Summer Staff member leads each skill session. Volunteers assist, encourage campers, and help with organization.

Some roles require more movement, but there are options that involve less walking or standing, such as Check Point or Kitchen Crew.
Meals & Attire
Breakfast won’t be provided every day, so we encourage you to eat before arrival. We will, however, make lunch for all our volunteers as well as provide snacks along the way.
Volunteers are asked to wear a WinShape Camps Volunteer shirt provided by the Host Church. Volunteer dress should remain modest with comfortable shorts or pants (knee-length preferred) and closed-toe shoes. No sleeveless shirts are allowed.

Volunteer Roles
These volunteers participate in the camp day directly with campers and the Summer Staff. Ideally, this is a volunteer who can be present for the full day for the entire camp week. This is a great role for high school or college aged volunteers! They are the most available and have the energy to work directly with campers. When registering for this role, it will be listed as a “Bible Study” volunteer role.
This crew use’s the camp team’s provided materials and grocery items to assemble lunch meals and snack for the Summer Staff, volunteers, and occasional campers. This crew is a wonderful opportunity for involvement for those who are unable to commit to an entire day, they do not want to work directly with campers, or if there is a group of volunteers who are looking for a moderately active place to serve.
The Rec crew assists the Activities Director in setting up for Rec! This often includes organizing and storing camp Rec materials, loading supplies onto the truck, moving tents, and re-filling water coolers. This is a physical role and could be great for those who enjoy manual work and are able to healthily move equipment outdoors.
This role is primarily organizational and there is little physical work involved. This crew requires the presence of at least three people who can sit at Check Point and monitor campers who Check In/Check Out at a variety of times during the day. Runners are also utilized to help move about the campus to take campers to their team or to run necessary errands. This role is often parent-facing, so this role is perfect for someone who would prefer little physical activity and is great at administrative/organizational skill sets.
All communities are contractually obligated to always have at least one registered nurse or licensed practical nurse on-site when campers are present. COTH is extremely fortunate in this area, and we already have a nurse available to be present each day at camp.
This team is all about making sure our volunteers feel valued, supported, and equipped throughout their time serving. From the moment our volunteers arrive we want them to be welcomed into a community where their contributions matter. This team will provide daily encouragement and stock beverages and meals to keep our volunteers fueled. This team is designed to support our volunteers every step of the way. Whether through morning devotionals, group check-ins, or simply sharing laughs with fellow volunteers, our goal is to ensure everyone serving has an unforgettable and rewarding week. Because when our volunteers are cared for, everyone has the best week ever!
Second Mile Care is all about showing love, appreciation, and support to the incredible Summer Staff who make WinShape Camps unforgettable. The majority of the camp staff have been living on the road, traveling from camp to camp for weeks. We want WinShape’s leaders to feel cared for and loved. These dedicated leaders pour their hearts into creating meaningful experiences for campers, and Second Mile Care ensures they feel encouraged and cared for throughout the week. From providing home-cooked meals that remind them of home, baking tasty treats to brighten their day, and assembling thoughtful goodie bags filled with their favorite things, every detail of Second Mile Care is designed to refresh and uplift our camp staff. By taking care of the ones who care for others, we help create a camp environment full of joy, energy, and excellence.
The Laundry Team is one of the most practical and meaningful ways to serve our WinShape Camp staff. These staffers spend their summer living on the road, pouring their energy into kids all week long. By caring for their laundry, you’re giving them a small but powerful gift: rest, margin, and the feeling of being cared for. As a Laundry Team volunteer, you’ll pick up one WinShape staffer’s laundry from campus on Friday, July 10th (exact pickup time will be shared as camp approaches). You’ll take the laundry home, wash and dry it, and then return it when you attend church on Sunday, July 12th.
This role may seem simple, but it makes a huge difference. It’s an act of quiet service that speaks loudly—we see you, we appreciate you, and you’re not carrying this alone. Thank you for helping us love the WinShape team well in such a tangible way.
The Hallway Heroes Team exists to support our WinShape staffers during small group and Bible study time by being present, available, and ready to jump in wherever help is needed. These volunteers are the extra set of hands that make everything run more smoothly—whether that means helping a wiggly camper stay engaged, walking a child to the restroom, running a quick errand, or stepping in so a staffer can stay focused on discipling their group. This role is all about availability and encouragement. Your presence helps create a calmer, more focused environment where staffers can lead well and campers can experience meaningful moments with God. Hallway Heroes is also a great fit for volunteers with limited availability—if you can only serve half a day or just a few days of camp, this is an incredibly valuable way to jump in and make a big impact.
The Parking Team plays a vital role in creating a safe and welcoming first impression for campers and their families. This team ensures that traffic flows smoothly by directing vehicles, setting up traffic cones, and guiding families to available parking spots. On the first day of camp, Parking Team members will also point out camper check-in locations, helping families navigate the campus with ease. Throughout the week, the team will monitor the parking lot during carpool drop-offs, ensuring safety and efficiency for everyone. This role is perfect for volunteers who are comfortable being on their feet and working outdoors, all while keeping things running smoothly and safely. By keeping traffic moving and providing clear directions, the Parking Team helps set the tone for a stress-free, fun-filled week at WinShape Camps!
The Prayer Team is a powerful and essential part of WinShape Camps, supporting the entire camp experience through prayer. This role is perfect for individuals who cannot be on campus during the week of camp but still want to make a meaningful impact. Prayer Team members will receive specific prayer focuses for each day, covering campers and their families, summer staff, volunteers, and the local community. By lifting up these groups in prayer, the team plays a vital role in ensuring that hearts are open, connections are made, and lives are transformed throughout the week. Though behind the scenes, the Prayer Team’s impact is felt in every moment of camp, making it one of the most meaningful and appreciated roles at WinShape Camps.
The Friday Family Fun Day Team helps wrap up an incredible week of camp with an epic celebration for campers and their families! This half-day event is packed with fun, featuring water slides, jumpy houses, and all things exciting, topped off with a delicious Chick-fil-A meal for everyone—making it a day to remember.
This team plays a crucial role in both the planning and execution of the event by:
- Setting up tents, chairs, and activity areas
- Welcoming and directing families throughout the celebration.
- Fostering fellowship and engaging with guests
- Demonstrating the love and hospitality that Church on the Hill is known for.
If you love creating memorable moments, sharing joy, and ensuring families feel welcome, the Friday Family Fun Day Team is the perfect opportunity to make a lasting impact and end camp with a bang!
