Lincoln Salvation Army taking applications for Youth Summer Camp at Eagle Crest
Volunteers needed as camp helpers

 

[June 05, 2021] 

Now through June 21st, the Lincoln Salvation Army is taking applications for area youth to attend Eagle Crest Camp in Washburn Illinois for a three day – two night camp experience July 8th through 10th.

The camp is open to youth ages seven to 17.

There is no cost to the children for the camp and transportation to and from camp will be provided through the Salvation Army.

With the pandemic, the camp had to be canceled last year, and camp organizers are looking forward to providing a safe and fun activity for area youngsters this year.

The Lincoln Salvation Army also needs to provide two volunteer camp helpers. Those helpers need to be one male and one female over the age of 18. Kids will stay in their geographic groups to help assure safety. Volunteers will assist by walking the kids to their activities throughout the day and also monitoring the kids in the cabins.

For campers, each child is required to submit health records so camp organizers are informed about any special needs, medication requirements during the child’s stay at the camp.

If you are interested in sending you child to this camp, please contact the Lincoln Salvation Army at 217-732-7890 for more information and to start the application process.

Anyone interested in volunteering to be a camp helper should also call Salvation Army for more details.
