Get Involved

There are many ways you can get involved in the ministry of Camp Johnsonburg. To help, or for more information, contact the camp at info@campjburg.org, or by calling us at 908-852-2349.

Become a camp advocate in your church

These are people who take responsibility for getting camp related information out to the people in their church congregation. We’ll send announcements, brochures, bulletin inserts and other information and we ask the advocates to ensure they are properly distributed. Many advocates also do things like put up camp bulletin boards, do a Johnsonburg minute for mission, etc. If you’re interested in being an advocate in your church, contact our program director, Harry Zweckbronner, at harry@campjburg.org.

Volunteer during summer camp

Each year our summer staff is augmented by numerous volunteers. You could spend a week (or more) as a counselor, lifeguard, or helping in the kitchen or office. Volunteers must complete an application and undergo a background check, like all full time summer staff. In addition, volunteer counselors must attend the first weekend of our summer staff training.

Bring a work group to camp

We always have projects that need to be done and we’re blessed with many folks who help us with these. Work groups have done things like painting, wood splitting, roofing, mulch spreading and many others. We can find a suitable project for groups of just about any size or skill level.

Help at Spruce Up Day

Each spring, usually in early May, we hold “Spruce Up Day” where a host of folks come up for the day to help us get ready for summer. Projects typically include setting up dining flies and tents, painting, trail clearing, work in the garden, etc. We provide lunch, and the volunteers provide the labor.

Share your skills!

Camp Johnsonburg can always benefit from the gifts of our supporters. Things like graphic design, web-site development, and marketing are always in demand, along with many other skill sets like roofing and plumbing. Be in touch to see how you might be able to help!

Be a Weekend Host

We are looking for some adults to help provide hospitality to our weekend groups, primarily from Saturday dinner through mid-afternoon on Sundays, but occasionally for a whole weekend. Primary tasks include hosting and starting meals in the dining hall, being available for basic maintenance needs, and closing buildings at the end of the weekend. In exchange we provide you with meals, lodging, and use of the site.
