Volunteers play a key role in the success of the ministry at Living River.
Whatever your talents, we have opportunities for you to make a difference in the lives of those we serve.

We've been fortunate to have a wide variety of work groups help at Living River. From small construction projects to trail buildings, volunteer work groups play a key role in the continuing development of Living River.

Summer Camp Volunteers

Program Leadership
Each Summer Camp session has a Chaplain that leads morning chapel and an evening, campfire devotion. Chaplains also build relationships with campers and staff as able and provide pastoral care for campers and counselors as needed.  Click here for the full Chaplain job description. 

For Creative Camp, Living River seeks fine arts professionals (art, music, dance, writing, etc.) who are willing to be present for the week of camp, teach daily sessions about their craft, and build relationships with the campers and staff. Click here for the full Creative Leader job description. 

Healthcare Providers
The Healthcare Provider is an extremely important part of our summer program. Physicians, Registered Nurses or EMTs can serve in this position. The Healthcare Provider is in charge of medication and any injuries that might happen during the camping session. Volunteer Healthcare Providers may have a child or grandchild attend a camp session at no charge.
