Serve
All summer missionaries at GBC are volunteers, giving their time to serve the Lord in many different areas of camp life. From teens as young as 15 to those in their golden years, everyone is welcome to apply. Each week, we need help filling roles like cabin leaders, lifeguards, kitchen prep, dish pit, housekeeping, laundry, support team, and maintenance (painting, cleaning, lawn care, small building projects, and more). All applicants are asked to submit an application along with references. Contact the camp to learn which positions are still available—we’d love to have you join the team!

Financial Assistance
The Summer Missionary Assistance Program (SMAP) is available for anyone who is 16 years or older and is volunteering for 4 weeks or more. This program allows Summer Missionaries to receive donations from friends, family, churches, etc, as financial support for their time spent serving. Donations can be made to specific summer missionaries, and the gifts given toward this program qualify for a tax-deductible gift to the donor. The SMAP application will be given to the Summer Missionary once they have been accepted to serve.
