STAFF and VOLUNTEER
APPLICATIONS!!!
If you plan on volunteering or staffing at camp wapiti please read the following, the reference tab, and your corresponding staff or volunteer tab!
We require all of our staff and volunteers to apply. Once they have applied this does not guarantee a position. There will be a screening process, once this is over applicants will be required to have an up to date and filed P2P (Plan to Protect), criminal record check (for those 18+), and a few other forms/papers that we will gladly help you with!
These requirements are to comply with our insurance and to ensure safety at camp for the staff, volunteers, and Campers. We pray that our camp is a safe place for all to experience God and Nature. These are just some of the practical ways of making this happen!
Your Ministry Reference must be a minister or church leader from the church you regularly attend.
Your Leadership Reference should be someone who has been in charge of you before such as a Teacher, Supervisor, Employer, Boss, etc.
Your Close Contact Reference is a close friend or family member who has known you for at least 2 years and is at least 18 years old.
