June & August 2025
Castaway Club's June and August sessions are a volunteer experience for those who are 18+ (of college or post college age). We are accepting available wranglers for any and all of the time frame in each month. The dates are June2nd-14th and August 15th-25th. The wranglers will serve guests in roles such as Waterfront, Retail, Kitchen and Ropes.
Throughout this experience, you'll have the opportunity to grow spiritually and personally. You'll be surrounded by other people just like you that desire to serve as Jesus did, live in community and grow in your faith.
Castaway is hosting retreats for Lincoln Berean Church and Joni and Friends and Youth for Christ. Serve these groups, live in community, lean into discipleship and grow in your relationship with Christ! We can't wait to have you here!
FAQS
Is this different than summer staff? Can I still do summer staff? Yes and yes!! This is not a nationally managed YL Summer Session... You will experience camp from a wrangler perspective during June and August Sessions. We'd encourage you to do summer staff too if you can swing it!
How do I get to camp? Travel to and from Castaway Club will be on your own. If you are driving, you will be able to park your vehicle on property.
What should I pack? Is there a dress code? You will receive an email from us with a packing list and all of the details prior to your time at camp.
What will my job be? Once you arrive at camp, you will be placed into one of the jobs based on your preference, skills and camp's needs. Reach out if you have any specific questions about the responsibilities!
What are these groups like? Lincoln Berean is a church retreat from Nebraska that brings 350+ junior and senior high students to Castaway to learn about Jesus and experience His love! Joni and Friends is a family retreat for families navigating the challenges of a disability. We get to provide a Christ-centered environment for both groups, serving them in our jobs, during events, cleaning their rooms, etc.
Soooo like what's in it for me? A sweet opportunity to serve and live in community. BUT WAIT! There's more! If you stay for one week you'll get a sweet gift.... two weeks.... another even sweeter gift... and ALL three weeks... you'll go home with an awesome engraved wrangler Yeti travel mug, and a sweatshirt blanket along with the other two sweet gifts!
