VOLUNTEERS NEEDED…
Mechuwana could not exist without its volunteers. Every
year over 200 individuals come to Mechuwana to counsel a cabin of
campers, lead a program, teach a craft, help in the kitchen, or help
with maintenance. It is because of this great volunteerism that we
are able to keep the cost of camp down.
We have many openings for people who want to volunteer in
2014. We hope you are able to come and spend a week or more
with us at Mechuwana.
Remember: Parents and guardians who volunteer get a $75.00
credit toward the price of their child’s camp. If you are interested in
becoming a volunteer, please contact the camp.
Mechuwana Camperships
We believe that no camper should be denied the opportunity
to attend Mechuwana for financial reasons. Over the years, local
churches have worked hard to provide financial assistance for their
campers. Mechuwana will support that effort with camperships to
those families in financial need.
If you are in need of assistance to send someone to Mechuwana,
please contact the camp office and ask for a scholarship application,
telephone 207-377-2924.
EVERYONE IS WELCOME AT MECHUWANA
Mechuwana does not discriminate on the basis of race,
religion, creed or color.
