You can help by becoming a Family Friend!

“Counselors” at Creation Vacation are called Family Friends. These volunteers offer themselves to assist a family at Creation Vacation have the best possible time while at camp, serving as a friend of that particular family. Sometimes it means caring for small children so the parents can get some much needed rest. Other times it may mean participating along with the family in camp activities. When families have children of a wider range of ages, it may be helpful to spend time with older/younger children while the parents enjoy time with the other part of the family. Needs are as varied as the families who come and the volunteers who participate. All are blessed by the experience.

If you would like to serve as a Family Friend, please click here to see the upcoming Creation Vacation events, select the one(s) that fit your schedule, and click “Learn More.”  You’ll find a link to the contact person for Family Friends at that event.
