Cross Trails Ministry needs the time and talents of volunteers in order to keep Lutheran Camp Chrysalis and Ebert Ranch Camp operating to their full potential. Cross Trails has limited full time staff positions, the rest of this ministry is completed by dedicated summer staff, part-time help, and many, many volunteers. If you have questions about volunteering with Cross Trails, please contact our main office at (830) 257-6340.

Volunteers who are on-site while youth campers are present, must undergo special training and a criminal background check.

Check here for a list of projects that we are looking for volunteer groups to help us with. Contact our office if you are interested in helping with one of them. *There are even projects that you can do in your hometown!

• Rebuild and seal porches
• Build volleyball court shade structure

There are many more projects that need to be completed depending on funding. Contact our Operations Director at Jay@crosstrails.org.

If you have a group of at least 8 people who would like to come for a weekend to work, contact our office.

If you would like to come to one of the sites and help our Operations Director, Jay Miller for the day, contact our office or email Jay@crosstrails.org. He can always use an extra set of hands.

If a member of your congregation is a Thrivent Member, talk to us about getting a Thrivent Action Team gift. These can help to cover the cost of materials and/or your stay at the camps.
