Volunteer With Us!
Each year, we depend on 60+ volunteers to help us reach as many people with camping activities as possible. Volunteers help keep the cost of camp affordable while still achieving high-quality programming. We are so thankful to our volunteers for the great community, work, and FUN they bring every year!
“Camp Innabah, the place & the staff, has been a wonderful faith influencer to me as well as my family. I love giving back & volunteering my time & energy and watching the campers grow in their own ways.”
Volunteer Requirements
If you have gifts, time, or energy to volunteer at Innabah, we would love to welcome you! Because we work directly with children and need to ensure their safety, all volunteers must submit to background checks. Please complete the State Police Check and ChildLine Check as a part of your application process.
Available positions
Volunteer Counselor
Each camp session is staffed primarily with volunteer counselors working under the supervision of a Program Director. Counselors get the most interaction time with our campers, and they have the greatest opportunity to have a positive influence on their lives. We are looking for people at least 18 years old who are excited to actively engage with campers of all ages and abilities, modeling the love of Jesus to each individual. Among other responsibilities, counselors stay overnight with the campers, help the group follow their schedule and activities, be an active listener and participant, and do their best to positively impact each camper.
Volunteer Program Director
Do you have a God-given talent or ability that could bring a new, exciting opportunity to Innabah’s Summer Program? We are looking for Program Directors who can build and run a week-long session of camp utilizing their talents. Whether that is a talent for dreaming up field games, running a kids’ talent show, identifying animal tracks, drawing cartoons - it can be anything! Kids flourish with programs that speak to their interests and encourage them to try new things. If you are excited to build a program for kids and teens based on your passions, we are excited to hear about it. Please Contact Michael Hyde at mhyde@innabah.camp to discuss your ideas. All new camps that are approved would be for the following camp season. (You can meet some of our awesome volunteer Program Directors here.)
Volunteer Nurses
We need you, volunteer nurses! You provide the compassionate medical care that lets campers know they are loved and cared for by everyone at Innabah and by their Creator. We are looking for people with a current PA license as an RN, MD, or CRNP to volunteer at least one week in the summer. Your responsibilities would be to assist with checking in campers with medications, remaining on-site to handle all camper and staff medical concerns, and to administer camper medications. Our nurses need to be comfortable working with campers with intellectual disabilities. We are happy to offer our nurses lodging in our air conditioned health facility, all meals, access to recreational activities, and a summer camp discount for your children to attend camp! Come join our friendly team in a relaxing setting for a week of keeping campers healthy.
Work Groups
We have 149-acres of wooded property and facilities that need constant upkeep to create a beautiful and safe environment for our campers and retreat guests. Our volunteer work groups help us maintain our grounds and make much needed improvement to our facilities without needing to increase the cost of camp. Work groups can be fully formed groups, such as groups from churches, scouts, schools, and the community. If you are not part of an existing group but would like to participate in one, please contact us.
Partnering in Prayer
It is through God’s grace that we can continue our ministry at Innabah. We continually seek Him for direction for the camp, for provision, and for blessing our ministry. Please join us in praying over our camp and campers, that we can continue to share the love of Jesus and witness the impact His grace has made in the lives of everyone who comes to Innabah.
