VOLUNTEER DISCOUNTS
We offer a discount for our volunteer’s children.
There will also be a mini-camp for volunteer children ONLY, ages 0-3. There is a small fee for this camp. Volunteers must sign up first, and a link will be sent to their email for the discount. You must add your mini-camper(s) to a waitlist first so we can verify a parent/guardian is serving with us. You will then receive an email letting you know your mini-camper as been added.
You must serve the entire week to receive the discount.
YOUTH VOLUNTEERS
Youth Volunteers MUST be 13 years or older at the time of camp to serve.
*If a youth has graduated from Doxa Kids but is NOT age 13 by the time of camp, they can attend camp one more time, OR serve alongside a parent/guardian.
Youth volunteers will NOT receive the camp discount or access to the mini-camp for siblings.
