Flower City Work Camp

Work Site Leaders – These leaders provide planning, direction, and support on Work Sites while enabling participating students to do the ministry work. These leaders must be present Monday evening and all day Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.

Sidewalk Club Leaders – These leaders oversee a mini-Vacation Bible School type ministry experience that operates alongside Work Sites in City neighborhoods. Sidewalk Club teams evangelize children with Bible stories, verses, songs, crafts, and a clear presentation of the Gospel during the three working days of Work Camp (Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday). A Sidewalk Club Leader functions in much the same way for the Sidewalk Clubs as the Work Site Leader does for the Work Site. He or she needs to provide planning, direction, and support while allowing the students to do the ministry work. These leaders must be present starting Monday evening and all day Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.

Sports Camp Coaches (Basketball or Soccer) – These leaders function in much the same way for the Sports Camps as the Work Site Leader does for the Work Site. The Coach works with Work Camp teens to help lead skills and scrimmage events at a City-based mini-camp. The Coach needs to provide planning, direction, and support while allowing the students to do the ministry work. These leaders must be present starting Monday afternoon and all day Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.

Agency Support Leaders – These leaders provide planning, direction, and support on Agency Support sites while enabling participating students to do the ministry work. These leaders must be present Monday evening and all day Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.

Lunch Coordinator & Helpers– to oversee providing lunch to at least one site during the three workdays of Camp (Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday).

Medical Team – We have a team of medical professionals (nurses, doctors, PA’s and EMT’s) on-site 24 hours a day during camp. These adults provide first aid care in the event of injury or illness and administer or supervise the taking of medications. Duties are spread among several individuals serving 4-6 hour shifts. Ask for a shift schedule.

Security Team – These volunteers provide security and information at Home Base each morning, evening, and overnight during the week. They help ensure that Flower City Work Camp is a positive, nurturing, and safe place in which our students serve. Ask for shift schedule.

Overnight Leaders – Male and Female Leaders to stay overnight with students and lead a short devotional. Can sign-up for one night or multiple. 

Roving Experts – are adults skilled in one or more major home repair areas: electrical, plumbing, carpentry, masonry, roofing, etc. Roving Experts are not assigned a particular worksite but are available during Work Camp to assist Site Leaders with labor-intensive, skill-specific projects or consultations. Roving Experts may also be called on prior to the week of Camp as Work Site Leaders plan the work to be done on their site. Roving Experts must be available the Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of Camp.

Gofers – support Work Site teams by responding to requests for materials or other supplies. Gofer activities include purchasing and delivering materials, moving tools or supplies between sites, and transporting students as necessary. All purchases are reimbursed within 48 hours. These leaders must serve for the full week of Camp.

Kitchen Crew – feed the hundreds of student and adult volunteers who eat breakfast and dinner at the Host Churches during the week. Volunteers can either help to prepare and serve meals provided at Home Base or help with the Snack Bar in the evenings. You can schedule your preferred time slot at the end of your application. 

Clean Up Volunteers – at the end of the week, we need to clean and restore the two Host Church locations that host Camp. These volunteers will assist in a variety of ways to clean and reset the churches back to their normal operational footing.
