Help create “sum fun” here at church this summer by volunteering as a Full-Time Counselor, Specialist, Nursery Helper, King/Queen of the Kitchen, or a Part-Time Helper. Counselor training is provided on June 2 after service. See below for more information about ways to help, and email sumfun@dallasuu.org to sign up!
sumfun! is for campers entering Kindergarten through 7th grade in the fall of 2024. There is a Counselor-In-Training program for rising 8th graders. Applications for Junior Counselors (Rising 9th -12th graders) will be available soon.
“After attending the church for a year and a half, I finally felt like I was part of something after a week of sweating, dancing, crafting and singing at camp! sumfun! creates bonds between campers, between campers and counselors, and between counselors. Volunteer! You just might meet your future best friends!” -Hillary Bennett-Baker
6 Ways to Help
Full-Time Counselor – At least 22 full-time counselors are needed to make camp happen. In teams of three or more, counselors make sure campers have a great camp experience. While earning, sharing, and making friends, they have as much fun as campers and sometimes even more!
Junior Counselor – At least 25 full-time junior counselors (rising 9th-12th graders) are needed to support the Counselors and help make amazing memories for the campers. Counts as volunteer hours and is a tremendous growth opportunity – and a whole lot of fun!
Specialist – Have a specific talent and are able to spend a day or two at camp? Specialists lead campers in activities like art projects, yoga, tie-dye, science experiments, music or crafts. Make YOUR passion happen!
Nursery Caregiver – Provide free childcare for full-time counselors whose little ones are too young to be campers. Fun activities are scheduled throughout the week.
Kitchen Helper – Create delicious snacktivities for all ages and help a different group of campers cook their lunch each day.
Part-Time Helper – Are eager to help but can’t commit to a whole week. We can use your talents as part-time counselors, kitchen volunteers, activity leaders and more!
