Camp
Echoing Hills, located near Coshocton, Ohio, is a non-denominational
Christian summer camp program, serving children and adults with
disabilities. We encourage all kinds of service-oriented groups to
volunteer time and talents during our summer sessions. People of all
ages can help make a camper’s week a life-changing experience.
Why Volunteer? Camp Echoing Hills touches the whole person! Campers grow
spiritually, educationally, socially, and emotionally through the week
long experience. As a volunteer you would reduce the staff to camper
ratio allowing the campers to have much needed personal interaction and
to have a higher quality camping experience. Without volunteers like
you, we would not have the quality program we have today. We thank you
in advance for your commitment to make a difference in the lives of
hundreds of campers.
Who can volunteer?
Anyone who has a desire to be the hands and feet of Christ and serve
persons with disabilities in a life-changing ministry is welcome to
volunteer at Camp Echoing Hills. Individuals or groups, junior high age
or older, can join our highly trained staff in serving these special
campers. All youth groups should plan to bring adequate adult
supervision - at least 1 adult leader for every 4 young people.
Current Volunteer Needs:
SUPPORT STAFF – Housekeeping and food ser vices are essential elements
in any camping program. Each week our campers depend on 5 to 7
volunteers to serve meals in the dining hall, clean buildings, and
assist with activities.
COUNSELOR ASSISTANTS- Counselor assistants become part of a vital team
helping campers with personal care, mobility, meals and programs while
developing important relationships with the campers.
PROGRAM LEADERS – Program leaders are needed to lead the following
program areas: nature center, arts and crafts, archery, and fishing.
(2 hours, 5 days a week, 1 week minimum commitment)
SPECIAL EVENT VOLUNTEERS – Volunteers are needed during events such as
carnivals to staff booths, and during outings to help with
supervision. (Call for dates and times)
SPECIAL PROJECT VOLUNTEERS – Special projects may be things such as
maintaining our butterfly garden, costume/decoration construction,
drama, music, painting, trail building, etc…
Training Information:
Support Staff, Counselor Assistants, and Program Volunteers will receive
a volunteer manual and are expected to attend a day of orientation the
Saturday before their week as a volunteer (Campers come on Sundays).
Volunteers will receive important training on their responsibilities,
policies, safety, sharing Christ with a person who has a disability, and
other related topics.
Thank
you for considering Camp Echoing Hills as a place where you and/or your
volunteer group may serve by helping some of God’s very special people.
It is a fun and rewarding ministry – for many it is a truly
life-changing experience! We look forward to serving with you!
