TPCS Family Service Program
May Opportunities and Reminders
Hello, families!
The end of the school year is almost here! Please remember to fulfill your service hours and enter them into Renweb by NEXT FRIDAY, May 26th, 2017! Any unfulfilled service hours will be billed the first part of June. (If you are short on hours and would like to earn some over the summer, see summer opportunities below!*)
Below are our current service opportunities. If you have any questions about these opportunities, or about your hours or ways to plug in, please contact us. In addition, if you have ideas of other ways to serve or partner with us, please feel free to contact us to further discuss.
Spring Hill Day Camp Volunteers!!
TPCS is partnering with Spring Hill Camps again to offer a unique, high energy camp experience the week of June 19-23rd, 2017. We will need many volunteers to make this happen. Below is a list of some of our current needs:
Home Hosts (5-6 families needed):
Want to get to know the Spring Hill staff? We need families to house the staff of Spring Hill. We are asking for you to house college-aged staff for the week they are here at our location. These staff members have a love for Jesus and serving his children. Although the number is flexible, we ask that each family to house 3-4 of staff members for the week. You are also asked to provide a light or continental breakfast each morning for them, along with two dinners for the week. Home hosts are a highlight of our summer and the Spring Hill staff love to get to know you and your family. Typically, the staff will leave as early as 7:00 am and return as early as 7:00 pm. Some nights they may not return back to your house until after 8:30 or 9:00 pm. A fair amount of their time at your house will be for sleeping.
Needed from June 18th to June 25th.
Monday morning Registration (6 people needed):
On the first day of camp, we need assistance registering campers. This opportunity is a short commitment, but has a huge impact as it kicks off the week of camp experience for each child.
Monday morning Volunteers will be needed from 8:15-10:00 a.m.
Medical Volunteer (Need Coverage Each Day):
This opportunity helps to provide medical attention to our campers. All individuals must be at least 18 years of age. Medical licensure or endorsement is not required, but preferred.
Although hours are flexible, we prefer that an individual works 10:00-4:00 p.m.on a given day. You may also work one or more days that week.
Activities Volunteer (Need 2-3 people each day)
Looking for some activity? This opportunity will provide you some hands on time with each camper. You will assist a Camp Counselor in specific activities. Activity volunteers must be at least 18 years of age and be able to engage in slight physical activities.
Activities run from 10:15-4:00 p.m. Volunteers are able to work 2-3 hour shifts or whatever your schedule allows.
Staff Gathering (Need 1 Family)
Enjoy entertaining? On June 20th or 22nd, we need a family to volunteer to host the entire Spring Hill staff of about 30. The Spring Hill staff will gather to have worship and Bible study. The host family will need to plan to feed their team and let them use your backyard for their meeting.
Their meeting goes from 6:00-9:30 p.m.

Summer Service Opportunities!
These service hours may be credited to the current 2016-2017 school year or to the 2017-2018 school year to get a head start on FSA hours! *Please check with the volunteer coordinator to ensure the hours are credited to the school year of your choice.
Reminders Regarding Family Service Responsibilities
- All K-12 families need to fulfill 40 service hours throughout the school year, unless you have paid the opt-out fee. EC-only families have 5 or 10 hours to serve, depending on enrollment hours. Please contact us if you are unsure of the hours your family will need to fulfill.
- Families are responsible to find, fulfill, and record their service hours in Renweb. Remember that family members over 18 can fulfill these hours (e.g., grandparents, aunts/uncles, etc).
- Service opportunities may be found on the website (http://www.tpcs.org/volunteers/FSA-Opportunities.cfm ), through classrooms, through sport teams, and through periodic communication from the Volunteer Coordinator.
Instructions to record your hours in Renweb may be found using the following link (http://www.tpcs.org/volunteers/logging-hours.cfm).
The Family Service Program start and end dates will now coincide with the academic school year, and not our fiscal year as in the past. Service hours should be completed and entered into Renweb by May 26th , 2017.
HAVE A GREAT SUMMER! Thank you for serving along side us!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for partnering with us! Enjoy your summer and we'll see you in the Fall!
