volunteer and grow 

Volunteers are vital ingredients to a powerful and effective ministry at Wanake.  Since the early years, Wanake’s mission has been fulfilled through the efforts of scores of volunteers working in every aspect of planning and operation.  Wanake’s continued health depends upon the contributions of volunteers like you.

Your help is needed!  A week, day, or even a few hours make a difference.  Whether you volunteer on site, recruit campers or staff (paid and volunteer), or support the camping ministry through prayers or donations, YOU are important to the life of Wanake!

Wanake utilizes volunteers all year long.  Vital preparation requires volunteers in the fall, winter and spring.  More hands-on help is needed during the summer camp ministry, June-August.  Please prayerfully consider how God might be calling you to serve!

mvp:  another way to share your gifts in ministry at wanake
Wanake invites you to share your time, talents, gifts and service as a MVP (Maintenance Volunteer Program) volunteer.  MVP is a vision for ministry at Wanake, which focuses on the site’s physical needs in light of creating and sustaining an environment for ministry.  The vision, given to Phillip White, Site Manager at Wanake, is that each MVP volunteer in giving of their time, talents, gifts, and service assists in the stewardship of Wanake, a “God-sized” task, requiring the whole Body of Christ.  This will further Wanake’s out reach to and nurture of guests and campers.  MVP volunteers make a time commitment to the ministry.  The commitment could be as much as two (2) to eight (8) hours each week or as little as one (1) or more days each month or each year.  In MVP you, the volunteer, are the MVP, Most Valuable Player.  Through MVP, you can help Wanake move forward in providing a place where the grace of God is experienced and lives changed.
