Volunteer Opportunities
Outdoor Ministries
The Merom Conference Center and the Outdoor Ministries Committee relies on dedicated volunteers to staff the summer camping program. Please contact your pastor or the Indiana-Kentucky Conference Outdoor Ministries Staff Person for information on volunteering as a camp counselor.
Service Projects
The Merom Conference Center encourages groups to visit and use our facilities and perform a service project, as a part of their program. Groups that perform service projects receive our gratitude both for the work that they perform and also for the income they bring to our budget. Immanuel Lafayette was a recent service project group.
Work Camps
The Merom Conference Center also accepts groups at a reduced rate for work camps. These groups are expected to provide two three hour sessions of work in exchange for their lodging (usually 9:00 till noon and 2:00 till 5:00). Groups that come as a work camp are expected to either pay for their meals or do their own cooking in one of our retreat houses. It is especially helpful for one of the leaders of the work camp to visit Merom well in advance to discuss possible projects in relation to the skills of the prospective work campers. Zion Evangelical was a recent Work Camp
