Schedule for COTE Volunteers

Friday Evening Picnic | 5:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. | All campers, volunteers, and their families are invited to come back Friday evening to join us for a cookout, a final Bible story, and a celebration of our faith gathered as one community. Volunteers will assist with setup, clean up, and the final performance for parents. Most COTE volunteers choose to stay at the Church after the Friday afternoon session to help with early setup for the picnic.
ADULT VOLUNTEERS may volunteer with VBC, COTE, or both.
TEEN VOLUNTEERS | Current 8th and 9th graders may volunteer with VBC. Current 10th-12th graders may volunteer with VBC, COTE, or both. A parent/guardian must fill out the form with the interested teen volunteer.
What will my volunteer role be like?
For VBC, you will be assigned to one of the following teams: music, Bible stories, art, science, outdoors, shepherd, or daycare. You will have the opportunity to list your preference on your registration form. We try to accommodate your first or second preference, but ultimately you will be placed wherever you are most needed.
For COTE, you will be assigned to accompany a small group of teens throughout the week. Adults are not merely supervising, but are actively involved in the activities and formation with the campers. Our teen and adult volunteers will guide our campers through the various service activities, reflections, and games throughout the week.
Can I volunteer for both VBC and COTE? Yes! Many teens and adults choose to volunteer for both programs.
Can I still volunteer if I can’t make the training day? What if I need to miss a day of camp? We need to maintain a certain ratio of adults to children for child protection purposes. It is challenging for both adults and teens to miss a day, especially our training day. Before registering, please discuss your schedule availability with our team. We will decide together if it’s a good time for you to volunteer.
What should I wear? Volunteers will receive a camp tee at our Monday training day that they should wear the rest of the week. Volunteers should wear long shorts (must be 3 inches above the knee or longer), capris, or pants. Remember to dress comfortably – you will be on your feet most of the day!
For VBC, when will I be notified of my assignment? Typically, you will receive your placement during our Monday training day.
The volunteer registration form is now closed. If you are interested in volunteering, please email vbc@nativityburke.org
