Carrollton Camp is a ministry of St. Charles Ave Presbyterian Church that provides a safe, nurturing, enriching environment for the children, ages 6 to 12, of Carrollton and surrounding neighborhoods. This two-week day camp includes activities such as art, cooking, STEM, reading, exercise, many New Orleans-themed guest speakers and local field trips. We need your help to make it happen.
YOUTH "SHEPHERDS" FOR GROUPS
The volunteer shepherd stays with a group of children throughout their camp day serving as a mentor. They accompany the children to their daily activities at camp.
DAYS & TIMES:
July 17-28, Monday–Friday, 9:00-3:00 p.m., 6 hours/day. We would love for you to serve for both weeks, but you may choose one week or the other if your schedule doesn’t allow for both.
LOCATION:
St. Charles Ave. Presbyterian Church, 1545 State Street
PROVIDE BREAKFAST OR LUNCH for 40 campers on one of the 10 days of camp. Some favorite breakfast foods include: fruit, cereal and milk, muffins, breakfast sandwiches, pancakes, sausage, and eggs. For lunches, sandwiches, pizza, or hot dishes are all welcome, along with fruit or salad sides.
Breakfast should arrive between 7:30 and 8:00 a.m. Lunch should arrive by 11:30 a.m., except on Thursdays when lunch should arrive by 8:00 a.m. The contact person for all meals is Allegra, 505-910-9919.
Please note that meals must be completely prepared and ready to serve when you bring them to camp. Pepperoni's Cafe is familiar with our camp and they are a great place to call if you'd like to have your breakfast or lunch catered - 504-913-6329.
SERVE AS A SHEPHERD one or more days in which you will guide a group of 8-10 kids to their daily activities. Shepherds are needed each day from 9 a.m. - 3 p.m.
BE A STORY TIME READER: Every morning (9:00 a.m.) we'll begin our day with books that inspire, encourage, and teach us lessons about being a kind and good friend to others. Share your favorite children's book, or if you'd like to read a book but need a suggestion, we can help find the perfect book for you! When you sign up please let us know which book you'll be sharing (or if you'd like help selecting a title).
HELP WITH SET-UP OR CLEAN-UP
On Sunday, July 16 from 1-3 p.m. we need volunteers to bring supplies and help set up camp; and on Sunday, July 30 from 1-3 p.m. we need volunteers to break down materials. Trucks and SUVs are especially welcome but cars aren't necessary to help out- we need all the hands!
