Stipends
Stipends are available to help defray the cost of volunteering at camp - please indicate your needs to the Director.

Be a Volunteer in the on or off season!

On Season Volunteers

St. Andrew’s Camp could never make it through a summer without the effort of volunteers to assist our staff. Volunteers fill in as mentors, help in the kitchen, cut the grass, help with general maintenance, run errands, take pictures and on and on. If you can spare your time and energy we will find appropriate activities for your participation.  Volunteer positions are more flexible on a week-by-week basis.  To be a volunteer during the on-season, an application form must be completed along with the other forms as for a staff position.

Off-season volunteers

Volunteers are not only needed during the camping season, but throughout the year – before and after camp!  Ongoing volunteer positions and roles are available for the off-season in the form of supporting administrative work (communications, mailings, and program preparation), maintenance and clean-up on the SAC premises, and outreach at parishes and through fundraisers. If you can help, download the Off Season form and return it to Saint Andrews Camp.

OCEF Membership

Saint Andrew’s Camp is governed and supported by the Board of Trustees and its supporting body (“The Foundation”) of the Orthodox Charitable and Educational Foundation.  Membership on the Foundation demonstrates a sustained and dedicated commitment to serving the camp and the Church.  To support the camp through official Foundation membership, please download the OCEF Membership Application or the Volunteer Registration Form below to begin.  To learn more about the OCEF, please read here.
