Riverbend runs holiday camps for young people in Grades 1-8 during school holidays as well as an annual Youth Camp.
To staff these we require committed Christians of all ages who are willing to volunteer their time in running these camps.
There are two levels of leadership at Riverbend.
- Level 1 is for people over the age of 17 who have completed an application form and supplied the names and contact details of two referees. They also need a current Working with Vulnerable People card.
- Level 2 leaders are trainees aged 14-17 who have preferably attended a Riverbend leadership training camp.

Leadership Training Camps
Riverbend runs an annual training weekend in May to train and equip our volunteer leaders. The weekend is for volunteers from Grades7/8 upwards and is a vital part of being an effective leader at Riverbend. During the camp, attendees take part in devotions and studies along with a range of seminars/workshops all designed to increase understanding and capacity to work well with children attending our holiday camps.
