Volunteer
at Inspiration Retreat Center
Inspiration Retreat Center needs Mission Teams and individual volunteers
to become the hands and feet of Jesus Christ to the campers with disabilities.
Some of the ways that Mission Teams and other volunteers serve at Inspiration
Retreat Center include:
• Helping with camp work projects
• Befriending and assisting an adult with a disability
• Being an assistant to a counselor
• Helping out with crafts, music, drama, food service, housekeeping,
and activities
We require each Missionary to be a committed Christian and willing to
serve in a variety of ways. No experience is necessary, but we are also
in need of volunteers who have experience in the following areas:
• Nurse (RN)
• American Sign Language
• Teaching special education
• Pastoral care/counseling
• Church disability ministry
• Youth ministry
• Certified Lifeguard
Mission Teams will be trained prior to arrival of campers. Short Term
Missionaries will not provide personal or medical care. We provide an
RN for this type of care.
Fill out the inquiry form if you are interested
in learning more about these and other exciting volunteer opportunities
at Inspiration Retreat Center.
Disability Awareness Training and Application
Ability Impact
Ability Impact can be customized to meet the needs of your group. The
program's main focus is team building which is accomplished through disability
sensitivity training, work projects, and ministry. This program can benefit
any type of group.
Team building
Relationships are built as your Impact Team works, serves, prays and plays
together. Time is built into the daily schedule to focus on spending time
with God, small group sharing and debriefing. Afternoons are reserved
for your Impact Team to relax with time for recreation.
Work Projects
Touch people's lives throughout the year as you leave a tangible mark
on Inspiration Retreat Center. Work together on projects that enhance
our facility and grounds. Projects include building furniture, expanding
the nature trail, painting, and stacking fire wood. A "foreman"
will see that you have the tools and supplies necessary to keep you going
and get you to lunch on time.
If you’re interested in learning about how your group might benefit
from this special program, call or submit an inquiry
to our helpful staff.
Project Adapt
Project Adapt can be customized to meet the needs of your group. The program's
main focus is on training, and then serving as a counselor. It is best
suited for people who are entering or are new in the field of serving
people with disabilities.
Training
Pre-camp training Sunday evening and Monday will focus on the 10 commandments
of communicating with people with disabilities, how to transfer, and a
disability overview. We will cover key ways to adapt your programs for
the disabled.
