Ways to Volunteer at Whispering Winds
Whispering Winds prioritizes safety so that every child who comes to camp has the most joyful, secure experience possible.
All adult volunteers are required to complete three simple steps:
- An annual online Mandated Reporter Training course
- A one-time Live Scan fingerprinting background check
- An annual ScreeningOne background check
These requirements reflect our deep commitment to protecting our campers and ensuring that every volunteer is confident and fully prepared for service. We’re grateful to partner with you in this ministry!
