Notes:

The cost is $20 per person per day (Figure is based on the number of nights your team stays). This cost includes housing and 3 meals per day. These costs also cover other overhead expenses necessary to house volunteers and operational costs of the ministry (paper products, toilet paper, meals, cleaning supplies, electricity and other various utility costs). Each volunteer paying $20 per day will receive a Celebration Church Disaster Response Team T-Shirt. We ask that teams send a deposit of $20 per person to register for the number of spots that you would like to reserve for your team. When the deposit is received, we will reserve those places for your team.

HOUSING

Volunteers are housed at Celebration’s Airline Campus – 2001 Airline Drive, Metairie LA 70001.

Celebration Church currently can house up to 415 volunteers at a time. Please check with us before lining up the number of people that you will be bringing because we typically have more than one group volunteering at the same time.

There are a combination of cots and bunk beds available for our volunteers to use (mostly cots, but they are comfortable). Volunteers also need to bring a pillow, bed roll or sleeping bag, a towel and a flashlight.
We have showers that are available each evening for our volunteers to use. Please bring any necessary shower products. (e.g. Soap, shampoo, etc…)
We also provide three meals a day (breakfast, lunch, and dinner)
To provide for adequate rest and safety for our volunteers, it is necessary to keep a schedule. Therefore, lights are turned out at 10:00 PM. Any teams that cannot be in by that time will need to notify us and we ask that they enter quietly as to not disturb the other volunteers.

SECURITY

We usually have multiple volunteer teams here at the same time, and we cannot provide separate housing for individual groups. There is a perimeter fence surrounding the volunteer shelter where the main gates are locked after hours. A Security Guard is on site through the night to ensure the safety of our volunteers. The safety and well being of all of our volunteers (adult and teenagers) is paramount in our minds, and we are willing to work with all of our teams to provide a safe and secure environment.
