Pilgrim Pines Southern California
Volunteers

Volunteer led camps create ministry opportunities for loads of people, sweetly saying, “We need you.”

  • Are you a parent who wonders what it’s really like at camp after hearing stories from your child? We need you.
  • Are you a church member or pastor who ‘used to’ love camp but haven’t been in years? We need you.
  • Are you a former Pilgrim Pines summer staff member but can’t give up five weeks to go to work at camp? How about giving one week to voluntarily make the lives of campers better?
  • Do you have great memories of Pilgrim Pines as a camper? Is this your year to pay back? We can help.
  • Maybe you grew up in another region and staffed, led, or attended other camps? We need you.

This model of camping ministry depends on volunteer directors, game leaders, counselors, musicians, craft people, and nurses. Believe this, your life will be blessed when you give it away to Pilgrim Pines Summer Camps. We’ll connect you, train you, resource you, and appreciate you! What do you need to do? Show up!
