Volunteers Needed for Week of Service at Holston Camp
Each spring and fall for one week, a group of mostly older adults gather at a place typically associated with youth: a summer camp. But instead of canoeing and campfire songs, they come to work, volunteering their time and skills to tackle items on the host facility’s to-do list, bridging generations through service and shared purpose.
Mariners in Mission is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization composed mainly of retired Presbyterians across the U.S. Members range in age from the 40s into the 90s.
“Even the oldest among us still have much to give to others,” shared Manella Calhoun, a co-coordinator of the group.
Interested in volunteering with the Mariners? Join their next trip April 12-18 to Holston Camp & Retreat Center in Banner Elk, NC.
