There are plenty of ways to get involved in the ministry at Greenwood Hills, from counseling at camp to working in the kitchen or maintaining the grounds – no matter what your skills or availability, there’s probably a way for you to enjoy serving the Lord here!
To begin, fill out a short form indicating your availability for this year’s events.
As the events that you volunteer for get closer, you should hear from the person in charge of staffing to see where you could fit in.
Grounds Maintenance Projects
On a campus as large (and historic) as Greenwood Hills, there’s always plenty of upkeep needed! Aside from regular maintenance like landscaping and small repairs, there are some seasonal projects that must be completed to open and close the camp each year, as well as larger "dream" projects that we’d love to see completed. Here you’ll find a short list of some of these projects, broken down by the immediacy of the need. If you would like more information about any of these projects, or would like to claim one of them for yourself or a work group, please click the button below to send an email to the Facilities team.
If you can’t give of your time for one of these projects, but you’d like to help by supplying materials or funding, you can reach out to the Facilities team to discuss that as well.

Other Ways to Serve
We hope you are encouraged as we are to consider how the Lord has led His faithful servants to selflessly labor throughout the past century. Please pray with us that this labor would continue at Greenwood with the Lord’s leadership until His return!
During the weeks of Girls Camp, Boys Camp, and LEVEL UP!, a married couple will be committed to and available specifically for staff members ages 14-21 to encourage and cultivate spiritual growth, including designated times of prayer and Bible study each day while also serving as a resource throughout the week. Our desire is to encourage spiritual growth and maturity among those who are serving while also deepening the relationships of those who serve together. Personal time in the Word of God along with Scripture memorization will also be encouraged throughout the week.
All saints serving before, during and after all events are volunteers serving as to the Lord. Would you prayerfully consider ministering to them financially? You may of course give a gift directly to a serving saint, or gifts to the volunteers can be placed in one of the ministry boxes in the Inn or Dining Room. If you want to minister to a specific volunteer, please specify that with your gift. No GWH board member or board member’s spouse will receive gifts through this process. Please also pray about joining in the Lord’s work here in some way yourself! Contact GWHExecCommittee@gmail.com about opportunities.
