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: 

  1. An annual online Mandated Reporter Training course
  2. A one-time Live Scan fingerprinting background check
  3. 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!

Please contact Jacqueline Renteria for any questions or further information. E: [email protected] | P: (619) 464-1479 ext. 208

Empty Nester Volunteer Program

The Empty Nester Program invites experienced camp participants into a new season of service. Rather than attending camp as guests, Empty Nesters return to Whispering Winds as volunteers who support camp through hospitality, prayer ministry, encouragement, and behind-the-scenes service. This program strengthens the culture of camp by allowing mature volunteers to pay it forward to families, children, and special needs campers, bringing wisdom, warmth, and spiritual encouragement that enriches the entire camp experience.
