“MARKED 2025” is a Youth Arts Camp for students in 5th-12th grades and young adults ages 18-21. The camp focuses on helping participants grow in their Christian faith and artistic skills so they can serve the Church and make a positive impact on the world. This camp wouldn’t be possible without the support of dedicated volunteers, and we are grateful for your willingness to join our team and share Christ’s love with these amazing campers.
Volunteers will have the chance to live out the message of Matthew 20:28, where Jesus said, “Just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve…” Volunteers will serve in various roles, always aiming to help campers grow in both their faith and their art.
Campers come from diverse church backgrounds and are at different stages in their spiritual journeys. However, the camp environment will provide them with the opportunity to experience the love, joy, and grace of Jesus Christ, particularly through the camp activities. Volunteers should be spiritually mature, reliable, and dedicated to serving both the campers and their families.
Volunteers are called to glorify God, honor Jesus, and help others draw closer to Him. Following Christ’s example (Philippians 2), volunteers should demonstrate humility, kindness, patience, and support. They are encouraged to serve without complaint, cooperate with others, and uplift both campers and fellow volunteers. We ask that volunteers pray for the Holy Spirit to guide our hearts, words, and actions, so that we can genuinely reflect Christ’s love in everything we do.
Volunteers will be needed in these areas.
