SUMMER Volunteer Village and RV Program
What is Volunteer Village? We built rustic cabins for volunteers to utilize in the summer to add to our volunteer program and increase the ministry impact that happens at camp. Each cabin will have space for 5 people to sleep, with 2 bunkbeds in a full-twin and twin-twin format.
You can also sign up to be an RV Volunteer! If you have time, willingness to serve, and an RV come to camp this summer and stay in Volunteer Village. In the Volunteer Village Camp Luther offers 3 RV sites including water and 30 Amp power connection. Sewer dump is available on property but not offered as full hook-ups!
For additional information about the program click the button below. For any further information and to apply please reach out via email to volunteer@campluther.com.
Mike and Mary Litner serve as the Volunteer Village Hosts all summer long. They keep the cabins looking nice and make sure to welcome everyone that comes to camp, especially the amazing volunteers. They love Camp Luther deeply and have been volunteering for over 20 years! Thank you Mike and Mary!
Summer Medic-of-the-Week Volunteer Program
Volunteer at camp this summer as a Medic-of-the-Week! Our volunteer medic position comes to camp for a week (from Sunday to Sunday) and helps care for the medical needs and safety of campers, staff, and guests at Camp Luther. This includes helping with the collection and distribution of all camper medications, treating injuries and illnesses of all kinds, and being available to our staff throughout the week for medically-related questions and needs.
Summer 2025 volunteer applications will be processed on a rolling basis until all weeks are filled.
*If you most recently served as a volunteer medic prior to Summer 2023, please fill out the “New Medics” application form.
Qualifications: To volunteer as a medic, you must be a physician, physician assistant, registered nurse, practical nurse, EMT, or hold a similar qualification and be currently licensed to practice in the state of Wisconsin. (If you have questions about if you qualify, please email Rocky at rocky@campluther.com)
Dates: We need volunteer medics to serve each week of the summer, beginning the week of June 8 and finishing the week of August 10. Volunteer medics serve for one week at a time, with each volunteer session running from Sunday to Sunday.
Housing and Meals: While at camp, volunteer medics are provided a room in our retreat center, which has dorm style housing (each room has two single beds and one bunk bed) and shared community bathrooms. Meals are provided for the entirety of your stay, along with use of a kitchen space for any snacks or food you'd like to bring with you.
Families: Volunteer medics are welcome to bring their immediate family to camp with them, but please be aware that there will be times as a result of your duties that you will be unable to directly supervise any children who are with you.
Expectations: In this role you will be directly interacting with kids of all ages, from preschool all the way up to our college-aged staff. You will often be the "point person" in helping to care for the many unique issues and incidents that may occur in a camp setting - from homesickness manifesting itself as a stomach ache, to normal viruses and colds, to scrapes, bumps, bruises, and occasionally more serious situations like broken bones or concussions. It is vitally important to us that all volunteer medics have a strong sense of duty and compassion in caring for our campers at the same level of care--or higher--that campers would receive if they were home with their parents.
Application Process: If you are interested in serving as a volunteer medic for Summer 2025, please click the “Apply” button above to fill out an application. We will collect applications through December 1 before making our initial date assignments - we will be communicating with everyone who applies by December 1 with more information regarding date assignments and serving this summer.
“New” Medics - Please fill out this application if you have not served as a volunteer medic previously, or if your most recent time serving was prior to 2023.
“Returning” Medics - Please fill out this application if you served as a volunteer medic in 2023 or 2024.
Selection Criteria: We look for a mix of returning Volunteer Medics and new individuals to fill our summer. Medics will be selected based on a number of factors including medical background/certification/experience, experience working with kids, camp experience, and past performance (if applicable). Before applying, please read through the Information Packet linked above.
