Volunteers - Camp Fowler

Volunteer Staff

One of the unique features of Camp Fowler is its ability to allow people to serve God even if they can't give up an entire summer to work at a camp. Since our very first week in 1954, Fowler has relied on the wisdom, care, enthusiasm, and love of Christ found in our weekly volunteers.

Each summer we have over 140 adults who come to serve primarily as cabin counselors with the campers under our care. Because we have a summer staff who can lead the activities, the volunteer counselors can be that extra hand or listening ear for any camper who wants or needs one. Our counselors are adults from throughout Upstate NY who are members of our churches or former campers or are gifted in childcare. They are often parents, teachers, pastors, or college students. In other words: they are the Body of Christ coming together to witness to the love that God has shown each of us.

"Fowler is a good tithe of my time." --Aunt Beth

"Wouldn't be summer without it." --Uncle Rea

"I couldn't see myself not volunteering." --Uncle Ryan

Many people are called to volunteer in other ways including: board positions, general year round camp maintenance, assistance with construction projects and general volunteer behind-the-scenes work. All our volunteers are cherished and appreciated. Please contact the Fowler Business office (518-374-4573) for inquiries regarding these other ways to volunteer.

Hey Volunteers!

Thanks for a great summer. We had over 150 volunteers and actually ran out of T-shirts the last week. You all made 2009 one of our best summers ever. Thanks for taking such good care of all of God's children. Hope to see you next summer if not before.

walk in balance,

It's the start of week 60 and the volunteers are pyched! We have a full camp this week with 15 cabins total, and that means a bunch of volunteers. The week looks promising.
