VOLUNTEER

LIVE OUT THE GOSPEL

For over 60 years, Morning Star Bible Camp has been presenting the gospel of Jesus Christ to children, teens and adults in a Christ-centered, wholesome, safe and fun-filled Christian camping environment. We continue to encourage Christian growth through Bible teaching, personal example and service.

VOLUNTEER PROGRAM SCHEDULE

Please note that these dates differ from the Camper Dates. Family Camp will run from Sunday to Saturday with staff expected to arrive Saturday evening.  Day Camps will run from Monday until Friday, but staff are expected to be onsite Sunday evening.  Jr. and Sr. Teens Camps will run from Sunday to Friday, but staff are expected to be onsite Saturday evening.

This summer’s theme is Knowing Christ with the theme verse being John 17:3 “And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.”

Each week of camp requires many volunteers. Our Discipleship Training Program will be running during the second half of our summer from August 4 – 30. During this time, an additional 20+ workers will be needed to work alongside the DTP participants.

Staff Training participants are asked to be at camp at 3:00pm on the first day of Staff Training. A complimentary shuttle will be offered to and from the coast if there is a need. Please contact [email protected] if you are interested.

2024 VOLUNTEER POSITIONS

The list of staff positions below do not necessarily need to be filled by the same volunteer for an entire session. Roles that will need to be filled each week are:
  • Cabin Leaders
  • Cleaning Crew
  • Cooks
  • Pool Supervisor
  • Craft Leader
  • Dish Crew

CRIMINAL RECORD CHECK REQUIREMENT

In order to volunteer at Morning Star Bible Camp, a current Criminal Record Check (CRC) is required for all individuals over the age of 18. Volunteer applicants are encouraged to begin the Criminal Record Check process as soon as possible so that the paperwork is with our team before the camp start date. MSBC requires a new CRC from volunteers every four years.

Please note the eCRC process is BRAND NEW this year so it may take some a bit more time to navigate. The process is completed using your BC Services Card. Please follow the following steps to complete an eCRC:

  1. If you have not already done so, please download the BC Services App and set up an account.
  2. Once your identity has been verified (can take up to 48hours), head HERE and enter MSBC's Access Code to request an online eCRC: GKCFCTVEH8
  3. Follow the steps as you are prompted.

The eCRC process is free, online and will take less than 5 minutes for most individuals. If you do not have a BC Services Card or have any trouble with the process, please contact [email protected].

The CRC process can take up to six weeks so begin the process as soon as possible!

If you are interested in applying, please fill out our Staff Application. All successful applicants will be working under the supervision of our leadership team, headed up by the Managing Director, Josh Caplan.

* The 2024 staff application deadline is May 31, 2024.
