West Texas Camps & Retreats

Why Volunteer

Volunteering at our camps is more than giving your time — it’s an opportunity to live out the belief that every child is worthy of belonging, joy, and a place to thrive. When you serve a child who has so often faced barriers to simply being included, you become part of something that matters far beyond a single summer.

— Galatians 5:13, “Serve one another humbly in love.”

Volunteer Roles

Camp Buddy

General Volunteer

Walk alongside campers every step of the way

Camp Buddies are the heartbeat of our program — counselors and companions who cheer campers on, help them navigate activities, and make sure no one feels alone. No specialized background required, just a heart for kids and a willingness to show up fully.

Both Autism Camp and Visually Impaired Camp Cabin counseling, activity support, mealtime companionship Training provided before camp begins Full week commitment preferred
Medical / Nursing

Specialized Volunteer

Bring your expertise to serve our campers

Our campers thrive when they feel safe, and that safety starts with qualified medical personnel on site. If you’re a nurse, EMT, physician, therapist, or have a background in adaptive recreation or special education, your skills are an incredible gift to this ministry.
