Volunteering at EWALU

Holy FoldersCamp Ewalu thrives on the hundreds of people each year who give their time to this ministry.  With the help of volunteers we prepare camp for summer, update our facilities, mail our newsletters, mow our massive lawn, and much, much more!

We invite you to Ewalu to share, learn, grow, and have a good time. If you would like to schedule a time that works best for you and your group please email us or you can come join us for the Volunteer Work Weekend May 4-6, 2012.

"We enjoy doing God's work and helping lot's of people. It's a lot of fun!" - Don and Evelyn Chevalier, members of the Holy Folders.

Why Volunteer at Ewalu?

  • To put your Christian faith into action
  • To enjoy fellowship with people you already know and some you don't
  • To spend a day at scenic Ewalu and help out a great ministry

What's Happing Now!

An amazing group of volunteers from Unlimited Services in Manchester, IA have been coming once a week to help remodel Cherry Cabin 2.

This remodeling has included the removal of the wall panneling, trim, and ceiling. Windows have been ordered and will be installed soon.
