We’d love your help this summer!
Be a part of the fun and adventure of this summer’s VBS DiscoveryCamp theme, Camp Live It Out! With your help, campers will be inspired to follow Jesus’ example through biblical teaching, faith discoveries, memorable music, and epic adventures.
DiscoveryCamps are almost entirely volunteer-run, and there are lots of ways to get involved! We’d love to have you join our Deerfoot or Southwest DiscoveryCamp teams!
Volunteer Training & Safety
All volunteers (new and returning) will be required to attend one mandatory camp training session. More information will be provided after you sign up!
Because we value the safety of campers and volunteers …
- Screening and police checks (adults) are required for all staff and volunteers.
- Only guardians or those registered as alternates are allowed to pick up children.
- To ensure appropriate supervision, we maintain a set ratio of children-to-leaders in every group.
