Volunteering with Warm Beach Camp Ministries

Volunteers are an integral piece of Warm Beach Camp Ministries. Volunteers help in a multitude of areas to keep the ministry operating smoothly and enable growth. Whether staying year-round or popping in for a day of service we value our volunteers!

In mid-November, staff and volunteers from Black Diamond Camp joined forces with staff and volunteers from Warm Beach Camp for three days to prepare for The Lights of Christmas event. During this time, the Stanwood Rotary Club spent an afternoon volunteering by distributing The Lights of Christmas posters and brochures to businesses around town. The team that makes the event happen each evening is a combination of staff and volunteers from the Warm Beach and Black Diamond community. Teamwork truly makes The Lights of Christmas happen. This season, we have about 25 volunteers per night working alongside our staff to share Christ-centered hospitality and Christmas joy.

From high school students to retired couples and everything in between, some are here for just a few days and some for months. Many of our volunteers come from our local communities and others from across the country. Last summer, we had a nurse from Tennessee, a construction worker from Oklahoma, a painter from California, and several full-time RV couples and families from various places.

Staff and volunteers from Warm Beach Camp also go down to Black Diamond Camp several times to assist with the ministry there. Summer and winter are our busiest seasons, but there are year-round opportunities to support Warm Beach Camp Ministries through volunteering. Whether you like to build things, garden, clean, serve food or play with Christmas décor all year long, we have a place for you. The highlight of volunteering at Warm Beach Camp Ministries is being part of this rich community. To join the team or learn more, go here!

Imagine hearing from your youth group leader that there is an upcoming camp retreat and everyone is invited. As cheers of excitement fill the room, a lump ...

Affected and Unfazed

“Dear brothers and sisters, pattern your lives after mine, and learn from those who follow our example. For I have told you often before, and I say it again with tears in my eyes, that there are many whose conduct shows they are really enemies of the cross of Christ. They are headed for destruction. Their god is their appetite, they brag about shameful things, and they think only about this life here on earth. But we are citizens of ...

A Loaves and Fishes Summer

This summer, a group of young people arrived to attend Warm Beach Horse Day Camp. As is common with these introductory lessons, youth arrive who have never ridden a horse before. A 1,000-pound animal can terrify a child, and to sit atop a horse for the first time can be downright intimidating! In these instances, instructors take great care to pair the young rider with a horse fit to handle the task. A First-Time Rider's Breakthrough Moment During week one ...
