Join us to help construct a new 6,500 sq. ft. single-story Ministry Center at Camp Croix from July 14th to October 17th. The facility will include a Fellowship Hall, commercial kitchen, male and female locker/shower rooms, and family restrooms. We will be working around active camp sessions between July 14th and August 9th. Limited accommodations are available until August 9th, so sign up soon!
Camp Croix has been a place of retreat and fellowship for youth, adult, church groups, and families since 1951. Nestled on 160 acres along Rooney Lake in northwestern Wisconsin, the camp offers 2,100 feet of lakeshore, perfect for swimming, boating, and water activities. It also has 15 camping sites, 35 rustic cabins, and several year-round cottages, providing a beautiful and peaceful backdrop for volunteers.
Location: Danbury, WI
Dates: July 14 - October 17 (Tuesday-Saturday work week)
Number of volunteers needed: 30-50 volunteers
Project Manager: Peter Behrens
For volunteers, there are several lodging options available during your service at Camp Croix:
BFC Campers: Up to 4 BFC campers are available for $100 per week. These are a great option for those who prefer a more private and mobile living space.
Camp Sites: At least 8 campsites will be available for volunteers, providing a more rustic experience in the beautiful outdoors.
Cabins and Lodge Rooms: Cabins and rooms in the lodge will be available starting August 9th, offering more comfortable indoor accommodations.
A noon meal, snacks, and water will be provided each day. Volunteers are responsible for their own meals in the morning, evening, and on non-working days. Anyone not involved with the day-to-day building process is encouraged to assist the congregation with the meals and break snacks as needed.
Read the Volunteer Procedures and Safety Manual
Each phase of the project requires different skills and numbers of volunteers, so if you’ve never lifted a hammer, you can still volunteer! Our experienced volunteers happily provide on-the-job training to those who need it.
While bringing your own tools and safety equipment is encouraged, it is not a requirement. We understand not everyone can access the necessary tools or safety equipment. If you have your own items, feel free to bring them. This would include safety glasses, a hard hat, appropriate shoes, hammer, tool belt, 1″x25′ tape measure, speed square, utility knife with blades, bird’s foot/cat’s paw, pencil(s), and chalk line. If you’re traveling by plane and find it difficult to pack these items or don’t have them, we have them covered.
Anyone 16 years of age or older may serve on a Builders For Christ project. Volunteers under the age of 18 must have an adult chaperone who will volunteer as their supervisor. Only volunteers age 18 and older are permitted to operate motor vehicles and power tools, climb ladders and scaffolding, work on a roof, or engage in any other hazardous activities.
