Bill Rice Ranch

Volunteer part of your summer to help make this ministry possible!

The CORE program provides challenging opportunities to help young men (ages 15-19) develop a strong work ethic and allows the rewarding experience of seeing young people's lives changed!

For over fifty years the Lord has allowed the Bill Rice Ranch to be a help to young people through the preaching of God's Word. The camp atmosphere provides an excellent opportunity for revival preaching to do a work in the hearts of campers of all ages. Each summer the Bill Rice Ranch needs a number of young men to help make this ministry possible.

Young men in the CORE program help to meet the operational needs of the Ranch. They help primarily in the dining hall and occasionally around other areas of the campground. All jobs are well supervised under the leadership of our camp staff.

SESSION I
June 3-June 30, 2012

SESSION II
June 30-August 3, 2012

All CORE workers must apply for a position and come on a voluntary basis. The Ranch provides room, board, weekend activities, and a $15 expense allowance each week. The $15 expense allowance will help cover the cost of laundry and the Sunday afternoon meal. There is also an optional meal on Saturday, where each young man may choose to eat in town.

(Note: CORE tends to fill up rather quickly. It is generally best to apply in the fall in order to be accepted for the following summer.)

Work schedules revolve around meal times, leaving gaps of free time in the morning and afternoon. During most afternoons, participants can either rest or get involved in the special activities and swim times provided for campers. There will also be opportunities for recreational activities on the weekends. These would include swimming, free time at the game room, and sometimes organized sports as well other activities both on and off the Ranch.

Work itself will include setting up for each meal, helping things run smoothly during meal times, and cleaning up the Dining Hall and kitchen after each meal is complete. Typically, job assignments within the Dining Hall are on a weekly rotation, allowing CORE volunteers to help in a variety of areas during their time at the Ranch.

Young men in the CORE program enjoy staying in a cabin with one of our summer staff counselors. This provides great opportunities to spend time with their counselors and to build friendships with campers from across the country.
