VOLUNTEER

Kitchen Staff at Daybreak Point Bible Camp on Anvil Island play an essential role in creating a positive and welcoming camp experience by preparing and serving three daily meals and a snack for campers and staff. Working closely with the Head Cook, they assist with food preparation, cooking, baking, and meal service while also helping review menus, follow prep schedules, manage inventory, and accommodate special diets and allergies. 

Staff maintain a clean, safe, and organized kitchen, adhere to food safety standards, and ensure efficient use of supplies, all while communicating clearly and working collaboratively with the team. They are expected to carry out their responsibilities with a high level of integrity, demonstrating honesty, accountability, and care in food handling, teamwork, and stewardship of resources. 

In addition to kitchen duties, they contribute to the camp community through teamwork, encouragement, and participation in daily devotions and prayer. This physically demanding role requires long hours on your feet, flexibility in a fast-paced environment, and the ability to lift heavy pots, pans, and supplies (up to 50 lbs), along with a positive, servant-hearted attitude.

Cabin Leaders at Daybreak Point Bible Camp on Anvil Island are at the heart of the camp experience, living alongside campers and providing 24/7 care, leadership, and support. They build meaningful relationships by creating a safe, inclusive, and encouraging cabin environment, while guiding campers through daily activities with energy and enthusiasm. 

Cabin Leaders model positive behavior and faith in action, support campers’ spiritual growth through conversation and prayer, and navigate group dynamics with sensitivity and care. They are expected to lead with a high level of integrity, consistently demonstrating honesty, responsibility, and Christ-like character in both their words and actions. 

Working closely with other staff, they help uphold camp values and ensure each camper feels known and valued. This is a high-impact, front-line role that requires maturity, strong communication, emotional awareness, and a servant-hearted attitude, along with the physical energy and spiritual attentiveness needed to fully engage in the demands and rewards of camp life.

The Service & Encouragement Teams play a vital role in supporting the life and flow of camp throughout the week. Team members are flexible, joyful, and ready to serve wherever needed—whether stepping in to assist a cabin when a leader needs a break or is unavailable, providing extra hands in the kitchen, work crew, or program areas, or energizing campers during games and activities. 

A key part of this role is praying daily for campers and staff, offering one-on-one support to campers as needed, and helping create a welcoming, encouraging environment for everyone at camp. Team members are expected to serve with a high level of integrity, faithfully following through on responsibilities and demonstrating genuine care, humility, and encouragement in all interactions. 

They meet daily for devotion and prayer, seeking out opportunities to serve and intentionally uplift campers and staff. They may also surprise campers with small gifts or notes to keep them engaged, motivated, and reminded of God’s love throughout the week. This team is essential to fostering a supportive, spiritually enriching, and fun camp experience for all.

The Chapel Team is made up of multiple roles including: 

Tech/Media: 
The Tech/Media team supports chapel by creating and running slides, managing sound, recording sessions, and troubleshooting audio-visual needs. This role requires calmness under pressure, attention to detail, the ability to work independently, and a high level of integrity to ensure each session runs smoothly and responsibly. 

Photographer/Videographer (Optional): 
Photographers and videographers capture the camp experience by actively engaging in activities and building rapport with campers while documenting key moments. This role requires strong time management, the ability to work independently, and a willingness to edit and deliver content quickly, often during late hours. Team members are expected to handle media with a high level of integrity, ensuring respectful, appropriate, and responsible representation of campers and staff at all times. They should be prepared to bring their own equipment and ensure all photos and videos are promptly shared with the camp office for distribution to families.

Worship Leaders guide the musical aspect of chapel by selecting songs, organizing practices, coordinating with the tech team, and mentoring others in worship roles. They are responsible for chapel equipment, ensuring it is cared for and ready for use, and must lead with a high level of integrity—spiritually, relationally, and practically—while remaining attentive to the movement of the Spirit with flexibility, wisdom, and grace. 

Speaker: 
Speakers play a key role in communicating the gospel by preparing and delivering engaging, Bible-based messages for chapel sessions. They connect with campers through clear teaching, relatable illustrations, and personal interaction outside of chapel, while also supporting cabin discussions by providing helpful questions or resources. They are expected to communicate and live out their message with a high level of integrity, demonstrating authenticity and faithfulness to Scripture. 

Worship Team: 
Worship Team members serve alongside their other camp responsibilities, using their musical gifts to lead others in worship. They come prepared both musically and spiritually, work within the camp schedule, bring and care for their instruments when applicable, and contribute to creating a meaningful and engaging worship environment, all while serving with a high level of integrity and teamwork.

Work Crew members also help with dishwashing, floor care, and sanitation throughout the day, respond to basic repair and upkeep needs, and support the kitchen team as required. They are expected to carry out all responsibilities with a high level of integrity, demonstrating diligence, reliability, and care in every task, whether seen or unseen.

They actively engage with campers by building relationships, encouraging participation, modeling positive behavior, and supporting the overall camp environment during meals, chapel, and free time, while also being available to assist other teams as needed. This role requires strong teamwork, communication, creativity, and adaptability, as well as the ability to work both independently and collaboratively—often behind the scenes—and to follow leadership while also taking initiative. Program Team Members should be prepared for long, physically demanding days that may require missing portions of camp activities to coordinate events, working hard, staying fully engaged, and lifting equipment and supplies (up to 50 lbs). Above all, this role calls for a positive, servant-hearted attitude and a desire to support both the fun and spiritual growth of campers and staff.

Daybreak Point Bible Camp’s Staff Training Program is a one-week immersive leadership experience designed for a select group of 10 participants who are eager to grow in their faith, character, and ability to serve. Throughout the week, trainees will be mentored by experienced camp leaders while actively participating in a wide range of camp roles, including kitchen duties, program support, work crew projects, and chapel involvement. 

Each participant will have the opportunity to shadow seasoned staff, gaining hands-on experience and insight into effective ministry and teamwork. As a cohort, trainees will meet daily to review training materials, develop and share their personal testimonies, and reflect on their growth. They will also assist with cabin support and fully engage in all camp activities with energy and enthusiasm. 

Participants are expected to approach this experience with a high level of integrity, demonstrating teachability, responsibility, and a commitment to growing in both character and faith. By the end of the program, participants will have a clearer understanding of where they feel called to serve, along with valuable feedback and encouragement from camp leadership to support their ongoing development.
