Camp Ambassador

Camp Ambassador

A Camp Ambassador is a vital part of the camping team and shares real-time camp and retreat information with the children, youth and families in their local churches and communities, as well as other ways to become involved in this life-changing ministry! Camp Ambassadors act as the spokesperson for UMC camping within their church.  

They are the conduit for information to flow between camp and local churches. Ambassadors work closely with their pastors, Christian education staff, church families and Camp staff to help make sure families stay in-tune with camping opportunities throughout the year, but mainly in the spring. 

Camp Ambassadors work within their local churches to continue the tradition of sharing the mission and ministry of a UMC camping experience and are an instrumental part in helping campers experience the next level of connection to Christ, Creation, and Community. 

Camp Ambassadors are asked to:

  • Work with their local church leaders to plan a Camp Sunday celebration—a day designed to provide multiple opportunities for people to hear about Dakotas Camping, including in worship. (See the Camp Sunday webpage for more information!) 
  • Work with church leaders to set a goal for camp participation and find ways to financially support campers
  • Promote Dakotas Camping through announcements, bulletins, and newsletters.
  • Discuss Dakotas Camping in Sunday School and with youth groups.
  • Answer questions and encourage people to register for camp!

Make sure we know who you are by completing the Camp Ambassador - Contact Information Form. It's quick and easy!
