Volunteer Background Check

Supervised Volunteer Policy
of Summer Adventure Camp

Supervised Volunteers may be parents/guardians of campers or other members of the community.

All Volunteers must fill out the Volunteer Background Check form that provides basic information including first and last name. This form should be filled out 24-48 hours before volunteering. This information will be used to process an ICHAT background check.
All Volunteers must sign the Supervised Volunteer Policy.
Volunteers shall wear a Volunteer Button while they are on site during camp hours and sign in/out with the Camp Manager.

Supervised Volunteers Off Site

Parents of campers or community members who wish to volunteer alongside the camp on weekly field trips may not ride on the camp transportation (bus) but may meet the camp at the location.

Supervised Volunteers On Site

Volunteers are welcome to assist with Summer Adventure Camp at Advent Lutheran Church. Volunteer opportunities include:

Setting out snacks for campers and staff
Serving staff appreciation lunches or breakfast treats
Assisting with service projects taking place on site (including the Lake Ann Peace Park)
Setting up or taking down special event items
Running errands and/or delivering groceries and other items to camp
Other volunteer tasks at the direction of the Camp Manager

All Supervised Volunteers are under the direct oversight of the Camp Manager but may be supervised by any Staff or Unsupervised Volunteers. If the Camp Manager is absent, Supervised Volunteers should follow the direction of the On-Duty Camp Leader. The Camp Manager has full discretion to remove Supervised Volunteers or ask the Supervised Volunteers to leave with or without reason.

Supervised Volunteers follow the same expectations as staff, including that are not permitted to be left alone with any camper that is not their child.

I have read and understand the Supervised Volunteer Policy of Summer Adventure Camp.
