Asbury Hills has been blessed with many Service Groups in
the past and hope to continue this strong tradition. In order to best welcome
groups and serve the
needs of camp, the policy below will guide these groups. The small fee per person
will allow Asbury
Hills to cover the actual cost of welcoming a service group, therefore a
group’s volunteering isn’t a burden on the camp or the group’s budget.
Service groups will be scheduled the 2
nd Saturday
of each month (exclusive of June-August).
Details include: During the construction phase Service Groups will be limited to day groups.
- Rice
Lodge or the summer cabins are available for lodging Friday before the
work day on Saturday (2nd Saturday of each month, January - May, September
- December)
- A
typical work day is 8 hours on Saturday
- Fee
will be $20 per person, including overnight and 3 meals on Saturday
- All
groups must register through the central office
- Groups
can choose from projects listed by the Asbury Hills staff. Projects will
be in two categories:
- Projects
that need funding (in which case the group will need to provide the
funding if it is not already in the AH budget)
- Projects
that do not require funding (clearing trails, deep cleaning, etc)
Day work groups will be welcomed as well on the 2nd Saturday of each month, January
- May, September - December to help with
projects. Details include:
- If we are serving meals, we will provide
meals for the volunteers. A $5 per person per meal donation is
requested to cover our expenses. If
we are not serving meals, the group will need to bring a bag lunch.
The Leadership Team will work to create 1-2 Youth Service Week-ends
throughout the year to serve youth groups who wish to be in service to the
camp. These will be low cost events led
by camp staff with programming as part of the event (worship, group building,
etc). Youth groups will be responsible
for custody and care of their group.
