LBC Volunteers

Volunteers at Lakeside Bible Camp are key players who help transform camp into a life-changing experience, illuminating the gospel of Jesus Christ through words and actions at camp. We look for people who have an active relationship with Christ who want to help others have the same. At LBC, many volunteers are on the front-line ministry and often have the opportunity to discuss biblical questions and lead campers to Christ. The objective of the volunteer is to help others grow toward Christian maturity by offering understanding, biblical leadership, and friendship.

“Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others,
faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms.”
1 Peter 4:10

The volunteer application must be filled out once per year regardless of prior involvement.
This is the first step in becoming a volunteer for Lakeside Bible Camp.
Once you have been vetted as a volunteer, our volunteer coordinator will forward your name to the directors of the camp that you are interested in serving for final approval, please wait to hear from them so that you can fully complete the volunteer process. If unsure of where you are needed, send an e-mail to our Director of Camp Ministries (dcm@lakesidebiblecamp.org) to tell us how and when you would like to serve! You will be given directions about REGISTERING for a specific camp session by a camp director or the DCM.
Please contact our volunteer coordinator, Daniel Jensen at dcm@lakesidebiblecamp.org
with all questions or if you need additional information during the process.

Dress Code

The bottom line is “be modest”. We know that’s a bit subjective, but that is the word that the Bible uses for our dress. So, this dress code is an attempt at clarity on the subject. We trust you will thoughtfully consider the clothing you bring to camp to be sure it is appropriate for the activities you will be doing. At any time, Camp leadership may discuss some specific issue of modesty that comes up with individual volunteers/staff/TCL etc., so please don’t take offense as we try to balance the competing views of what is modest and what is not. Consider below:

Clothing (including swimsuits)

• Boys should not wear Speedo brief-style swimwear. Shirts, in general, should be worn when not swimming.

• Girls should have either a one-piece suit or a “tankini” where the top meets the bottoms. If not available, a t-shirt type covering is sufficient in most cases. Also, when not swimming, your swimsuit should be covered (i.e. when walking through camp). If wearing just shorts and a T-shirt for swimming, wear a dark colored shirt.

• Please be aware of tight-fitting clothes in general. Things like leggings, short-shorts, crop tops and sheer shirts may need to be covered in some way. Again, think modesty.

• Clothing should be free from references to things like alcoholic beverages, political topics, and sexually suggestive subjects. Use common sense here. Same thing with sweats with writing on the bottoms...they just attract attention. Appreciate your efforts with this.

Footwear

• Shoes, sandals, or flip flops should be worn at all times for safety reasons unless swimming or in boats.

• Closed-toed shoes are required for some activities and work assignments for staff/TCL.

Fragrances

• In consideration of others, use common sense when wearing strong fragrances.

In the Work Environment (Summer Staff, TCL, Kitchen Staff)

• Wear closed-toed shoes in the kitchen at all times, in the dining hall while serving food, and at work block.

• Tank tops are not permitted while working in the kitchen, doing dishes, or serving food.

• Attire should be fresh and clean when you begin work around camp.

• The supervisor at each job site may have additional requirements related to the specific work being done.
