Serve with us.

 

 

Whatever your skills, however much time you can give, we need your help. 

It is God working through people that makes Echo Ranch Bible Camp possible. Every summer we rely upon faithful volunteers to fill multiple roles. We need counselors to work with the kids, program staff to plan activities, wranglers working with the horses, cooks in the kitchen, and mechanics in the shop. We need maintenance workers keeping camp operational and construction workers making improvements and designing new projects. These are just a few examples of opportunities to serve.

Echo Ranch is a beautiful place located 40 miles outside of Juneau, Alaska. We are a non-profit camp in partnership with Avant Ministries. All of our volunteers must raise their own support for the summer. We have long term and short term serving options available.

Check out some of the opportunities we have listed and fill out an online profile to request more information.
