Summer Fair Ministry

This year the San Diego County Fair at Del Mar will run from June 11 – July 6, 2025.
Each year over 2,500 children and adults hear the gospel in our CEF Story Castle!
Many volunteers are needed to staff the Story Castle for the duration of the fair. CEF provides training, T-shirts and free admission for groups of 3 volunteers serving in 4-hour shifts. Outside of their shifts, volunteers are free to enjoy the fair!
There are six orientation classes to choose from, to equip you to be a part of this outreach:
