Serving at LSCA is a hands-on way to support our mission and help create a safe, welcoming environment for every camper and guest. Whether through volunteer labor, kitchen support, summer faculty, or skilled service, your time directly strengthens what God is doing here.
How You Can Serve
1. Service Days
Service Days bring volunteers together to tackle important projects across camp—grounds work, maintenance, cleaning, repairs, and more. Individuals, families, church groups, and youth teams are all welcome.
Keep an eye out on our Facebook for updates on when the next one is, or take a look at our Camp Calendar
2. Schedule a Work Project (Individually or with a Group)
If you or your group wants to volunteer outside of a scheduled Service Day, contact the office. We will connect you with current needs that match your skills and availability.
Current Volunteer Projects
These jobs can be completed by individuals or teams:
Weed removal and shrub pruning
Window cleaning for all buildings
Cleaning interior walls in Eagle Lodge
Power washing annexes, shelters, and docks
Leaf removal and seasonal clean-up
Projects That Need Funding
These projects can be completed by volunteers once funding is available.
Tree planting across campus
Playground deck replacement
Projects Requiring Professional Services
These require licensed or specialized contractors:
Replace siding on Bridgeview Dorm
Repair concrete and sidewalk sections on the east side of the main building
Additional Service Roles
Volunteer Kitchen Help
Coordinated through LSCA’s governing churches.
If interested, contact your church’s LSCA representative.
(Note: This is different from the youth Service Team program—see the registration page for that.)
Summer Camp Faculty
Faculty play a crucial role in discipling and shepherding campers.
Requirements for All Faculty:
Complete the online background check questionnaire
Complete online abuse prevention training
Training contains sensitive content. If a volunteer cannot complete this training, they cannot serve as faculty.
For Minors Under 18:
Must be personally invited by a dean
Must submit a Counselor Questionnaire, signed by a parent/guardian
Must complete the background check questionnaire (we do not run a check on minors, but this enables sending the required training link)
For Adults:
Deans will provide links to all required forms and training
Thank you for helping us maintain a safe environment for all campers.
First Aid Providers
Medical professionals (RN, CNA, EMT, physician, etc.) are essential to summer camp operations. If you would like to serve during a week of camp, please call at 217-529-2625.
