Faculty for Summer Camps:
We want to remind everyone who supports Hanging Rock, that we are a volunteer based ministry. That means we have limited year around staff and we have volunteers that help as faculty during the summer. In the past few years we have had less and less faculty for our camps. Last year we had 140 at Jr. High Main and only 12 faculty. YIKES! The Jr. Highers knew we were outnumbered as well. LOL. It takes volunteers from our supporting churches to come and pour into the lives of our young people. Every camp session needs volunteers: Faculty responsibilities include:
- Dorm parents
- Small group leader
- Teaching
- Supervision at activities/freetime
Because we have had less and less faculty our camp committee and Board of Directors have decided that we should hire more summer staff that could be used as faculty. So, we have hired 4 extra summer staff which is also very difficult. What that means is in the future, hiring more staff means we will have to increase the cost of camp. Something we REALLY do not want to do. If you are a youth sponsor at your church, you help with Jr. Church or Children's church, you teach Sunday School, you have a heart for young people and helping them draw closer to Christ, we need your help.
The process is this:
1. Fill out the faculty application - (button below) - on that application let us know which camp or camps you want to help with.
2. The camp will send your information to that Event Coordinator and they will contact you with information about that camp session and let you know how you can help.
3. A background check is done on all of our staff and volunteers.
4. You come and be a part of camp. A life changing experience. Unlike other mission organizations, we do not charge you to volunteer. We feed you and give you lodging and have a faculty room for you with snacks and pop or water.
Will you pray about volunteering at Hanging Rock this summer?
