Maintenance Crew

Volunteers will work under the authority of crew leaders and camp administration. It is important that volunteers show respect to those leaders at all times and are teachable when given instruction. Work with the mindset of putting the needs of others ahead of yourself. As the body of Christ, we have a responsibility to work together in this ministry for the purpose of evangelism and edification. Since we have so many different workers coming from all different backgrounds, there will be differences of opinion. We must not focus on these differences, but rather our communion that we have through the precious blood of Jesus Christ. Our relationship with God ought to be the first and foremost. If our relationship with Him is correct, the relationships we have with others will be God-honoring.

The Maintenance Crew will be under the leadership of our Maintenance Supervisor. Grounds workers need to be sure to bring work clothes and shoes in addition to some nice clothes for break time, meals, and chapel sessions. We recommend a couple pairs of long pants and some clothes you don’t mind getting very dirty or stained. Grounds crew workers in the past have done painting projects, lawn care, mechanical work on equipment, tree trimming, clearing trails and much more. Those you will be working with will have varying levels of experience with this type of work. Come to camp ready to learn a thing or two, but also to help others learn new skills. It is important that our volunteers are safe while they work. With that said, if you have gloves, safety glasses or any other safety gear that you prefer to use, feel free to bring it with you. We do have personal protective equipment here if you would like to use ours instead of bringing your own. For your personal protection, you will be required to wear certain PPE when performing certain tasks.
If you are particularly skilled in any trade, please contact Josh Aldrich about putting these skills to use while you’re here. (josh@trailridge.org)
