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!

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.
