Free childcare for adult RE workshops and events can often be arranged using a combination of the Grandfolks Squad and youth staff. Grandfolks are background-checked volunteers who serve in teams of two to provide free childcare during Fellowship events. Our youth staff are also background checked, but paid from a childcare fund generously provided by the Bob Ozretitch Memorial endowment, to work with the Grandfolks when a complete childcare team cannot be obtained from our volunteer pool. 

Only children who are registered in one of our RE programs are eligible for care from the Granfolks Squad. This ensures that we have adequate emergency information on file . 

A minimum of one week's notice is required, and two weeks' notice is preferred. When a team accepts the service request, you will be notified via email. 

Please note that there may be times when a request cannot be accommodated because of lack of availability of our care providers. Also, note that we do not provide childcare on a "just in case" basis. Please only fill out this form if you are a parent committed to attending or on behalf of a parent who has requested childcare.
