Volunteer at Silver Lake

Silver Lake's ministry happens because church members -- Christians -- come to this beautiful setting to make Christ's love real to young people. They lead summer conferences and winter retreats, work to maintain the buildings, stuff envelopes, and give their hard-earned cash.

Summer Conference Volunteer Opportunities

Deans lead summer conferences. They recruit counselors, organize a curriculum for their week, and oversee their conferees while they are at Silver Lake.

Counselors are responsible for shepherding the young people in their cabin -- a maximum of eight -- through a week's conference. They sleep in a counselor's bunk adjoining the conferees' cabin, share their meals, and lead them in activities throughout the week.

Summer Staff receive a stipend, but theirs is such a crucial part of Silver Lake's summer ministry that we have to include them here. They lead programs, cook meals, oversee water activities, clean, sing, climb, run, and generally make the camp experience the blessing that it is.
