VOLUNTEER WORK DAY

Choose from May 11 or May 18
(or come to both!)

New this year, we have two Volunteer Work Days – May 11 and 18th to choose from for adults, youth, and children. This day is designed to repair and renovate our buildings, to landscape the camp grounds, and to prepare the camp for the upcoming summer season. It’s a chance to join together as the Angeles Crest family to keep our facilities in tip-top shape!

We will have many different projects in which you can be involved. Whether you are skilled in the trades or just willing to volunteer – there is a place for you.

Carpentry | Plumbing | Painting | Electrical | General Cleaning | General Repairs | Landscaping | Brush/Fire Clearance

Thank you so much for volunteering to help Angeles Crest prepare for our summer camp season! We appreciate your willingness to give of your time and effort! Here are few important things to know before coming up to our Volunteer Work Day…

1. Tools – If you can bring your own tools to the Work Weekend that is helpful. If you can’t bring tools don’t worry, the camp will have some there for you to use. Also, if you bring up your own tools please mark them clearly so we know who they belong to. Here is a list of some general tools that you can bring…hammer, drill, saw (hand and power), extension cords, rake, shovel, ladder, brush loppers/pruners, chain saw, weed-eater, brooms, leaf blower.

2. Clothing & Gloves – Be sure to wear appropriate clothing for the workday. Wear clothing that can get dirty, get cement or paint on, etc. If you have a pair of work gloves please bring them. If not, the camp will provide some for you. Please do not wear sandals to work in but bring closed toes shoes or boots for safety purposes.

3. Weather – The weather will most likely be warm during the work day on Saturday. Make sure you bring a hat and sunscreen for protection from the sun. If you are staying overnight be sure to bring a sweatshirt or a jacket as it can get cool at night and in the mornings. It is always best to bring multiple layers of clothing as the weather can vary throughout the weekend.

3. Meals – We will have meals covered Saturday (Continental Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner).

4. Project Sponsor – Because camp funds are limited, the sponsoring of a work project is a great way to help the camp. If you would like to help sponsor a particular project by financing the purchase of the materials please contact Keith Poletiek at keith@angelescrest.com so he can coordinate that with you.

Angeles Crest is grateful to host volunteers who desire to offer their time and talent so that this place can continue to be used by God to impact the lives of thousands of youth, adults, and families year after year. We have a wide variety of on-going projects that need volunteers to bring them to completion. From manual labor to desk work, art skills to construction, we love connecting our volunteers to their individual ministry here at Angeles Crest.

Volunteering as a family, individual, or group is a special gift that develops purpose, builds relationships, and creates fellowship. Our volunteers are welcome to stay onsite in their own RVs and will work under the leadership of Angeles Crest’s staff in the area of their expertise.
