o. Of course, we want you to stay for 2 weeks, but as long as your group leaders stay the entire time, we can work around other schedules. Keeping as many people here as possible for two weeks saves on project training and allows jobs to be completed by the person / Team who started them. The Saturday to Saturday flight schedule needs to be followed.

Yes, we are flexible to an extent. Team arrival day is Saturday so that you can all get your bearings before jumping in to the work week on Monday and it saves on training time. Departure days are important because of other teams arriving and preparing facilities for them. Please keep in mind that it is a 4-hour round-trip drive from camp to the airport, and the group leader is responsible for coordinating pick-ups and drop-offs.

No. These things are supplied by VBC. Overall donations for housing, food and projects are appreciated to help cover expenses.

Remember, the sooner we know who is coming and their skill sets, the more time we have to plan the right project.

Typical work at VBC is facility construction, remodelling projects, repairs and differed maintenance. Unfortunately, we don’t always have all the details in place before you come. Rain, emergencies, and scheduling can all play a part. We will pass on the projects to your team leader as soon as we nail them down.

 The team leader is responsible to filling out the following form any anyone that has already ad a background check within the last two years.

No, Victory Staff and Volunteers are not allowed to drink alcohol on campus. We would also like you to consider the effect you may have if one of our campers or summer staffers sees you drinking at a local restaurant during the weekend. We have very good water from the spring.

No, Victory Staff and Volunteers are not allowed to use tobacco products while on campus. If you have any questions, please run them through your team leader. Exceptions may be made in rare cases.

No. You are probably applying for the wrong camp.

Yes! Even if you have a criminal record, we believe that God changes lives. We confidentially review your record with your Group Leader (need to know only) to see if it contains anything that will prevent you from volunteering here. We may ask for additional character references.

No. If you are willing to serve/learn, then we can use you. 99.99% of the short term volunteer projects are at least as physical as painting and involve walking and standing for most of the day.

Since we do extensive training for working with campers, we use the same summer staff for the entire camp season. If you can commit a whole summer and want to work with kids, check out this link. Otherwise, you will see campers and counselors in action during your time here, but you will have limited interaction.

First check out our website: http://www.vbcalaska.org/ Once you are here, we can help you attend some of the chapels and campfires to see what the kids are learning.

We supply everything to get the projects done. Work gloves and boots are a good idea because we probably won’t have your type/size. If you would like, there are other things that seem to be always in demand: Paintbrushes, tape measures, carpenter pencils, and other small perishable items..

Layers that you can work/paint in. It may rain, it may be sunny and 70 degrees. An extra pair of shoes is nice in case one set needs to dry.

No. 99% of the local critters are more afraid of you than you are of them. Typically, our staff is aware of any problem animals and will keep you informed. Keep your distance and learn the warning signs of an irritated animal.

Yes, you will have access to free laundry facilities.

You don’t “need” any money for VBC. $150 bucks should cover most of the popular local attractions (flying, glacier and a couple of local restaurants).Feel free to spend it all at our gift shop where the profits benefit the camp. The Camp Gift shop has a coffee bar café, snacks, VBC ”Stuff” and Alaskan specialty items.

Yes! We exist to bring people closer to their Creator. That includes you, and your team will have plenty of time to spend with that very book. Work Teams will meet each morning for a devotion time.
