VOLUNTEERS NEEDED…Mechuwana could not exist without its volunteers. Every

year over 200 individuals come to Mechuwana to counsel a cabin of campers, lead a program, teach a craft, help in the kitchen, or help with maintenance. It is because of this great volunteerism that we are able to keep the cost of camp down.

We have many openings for people who want to volunteer in 2014. We hope you are able to come and spend a week or more with us at Mechuwana.

Remember: Parents and guardians who volunteer get a $75.00 credit toward the price of their child’s camp. If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, please contact the camp.

Mechuwana CampershipsWe believe that no camper should be denied the opportunity

to attend Mechuwana for financial reasons. Over the years, local churches have worked hard to provide financial assistance for their campers. Mechuwana will support that effort with camperships to those families in financial need.

If you are in need of assistance to send someone to Mechuwana, please contact the camp office and ask for a scholarship application, telephone 207-377-2924.
