Become a Leader
Every school holiday period we run outreach camps for young people and we are always looking for new people to join us as volunteers. There are no financial costs to be a volunteer, we only ask you to give up your time to serve God. All training, accommodation, and food are covered by CYC.
We strongly believe that equipping young people with the tools, knowledge, and values needed to navigate life with Christ’s teachings is essential. Our vision is to make disciples of Jesus Christ and to create opportunities for all to personally encounter Christian life and values, through a unique camping experience. We aim to do this in a safe and nurturing environment where young people can learn about Christ and grow in their faith.

When do we need Leaders?
We need volunteers to help us run our Kids and Teens Camps, dates for these camps can be found by looking at all of our upcoming camps. Typically volunteers arrive the night before their respective camp begins, this is to run through some final important information, meet the other leaders, and pray into camp. Below you can also access promotional materials to print off and help promote our upcoming camps.
