Volunteer at Camp Cross
Camp Cross values its volunteers greatly. Help from volunteers enables us to prepare meaningful camp sessions and programs throughout the summer. These people are responsible for preparing and maintaining the facilities, serving meals, guiding our campers, and ensuring the health of Camp Cross participants and visitors.
Our volunteers share a commitment to the ongoing success of Camp Cross by giving up to a week of their time during the summer to lend their own gifts and skills for our campers and guests.
Please take some time to look over the different ways you can volunteer and think about how you might share your own gifts with the Camp Cross community. We are always looking to find the perfect job for your skill set. You can even earn a $100 session fee discount for you or someone else just by volunteering for 3 days.
Please note that ALL volunteers must register here for the session they are volunteering for and must complete Safeguarding God’s Children training for all youth and family sessions.
On-Site Volunteer Opportunities

Counselors
Counselors share their mentoring and leadership skills with our youth campers during the summer. Counselors serve for a full week during a youth session. This volunteer opportunity is open for those entering the 10th grade or older. All counselors must attend our Leaders in Training. If you are interested in serving as a counselor during the 2024 summer camp season please contact Alex Flannigan, Camp Cross Director, for more information email Alex.
Kitchen
Serving in the kitchen requires a great deal of work, but offers even greater rewards. One of the most memorable aspects of a camper’s time at Camp Cross is the time spent during meals. Our kitchen volunteers share their abilities for a full session by working with the kitchen staff to prepare meals, snacks and most importantly by providing a quality family-style dining experience.
Nurse
Our nurses provide us with the care we need for any ailment, whether it be a case of homesickness, a scrape or a cold. They also provide supervision over the storage and dispensing of medications at Camp Cross. The comfort our nurse volunteers provide during a session goes a long way to giving our guests a sense of being well taken care of.
Offsite Volunteer Opportunities
Help promote Camp Cross in your own communities and provide a service for our campers and staff by fulfilling one of our offsite volunteer positions:
Camp Cross Prayer Partners
Sign up to be a prayer partner for Camp Cross staff this summer.
Serving as a staff member at Camp Cross requires long hours and can sometimes be very stressful. Camp Cross seeks to provide support and wellness for its staff by asking members of the Episcopal Diocese of Spokane to serve as a prayer partner for one or two members of the staff.
As a prayer partner you are asked to hold the staff members up each week at your parish and to send the staff member(s) some form of acknowledgement that you are praying for them and their service to Camp Cross.
There is no further requirement for you to perform as a prayer partner. You may choose to do more if you would like, but you are asked to perform the basic expectations as outlined above.
For more information, or to volunteer as a prayer partner contact Cn. Alex Flannagan. AlexF@SpokaneDiocese.org
