Work Weekends (For everyone!)
Each year, winter turns into summer and summer turns into winter. And each year that means a lot of work getting ready for the thousands of people that will come in summer and to get ready for the multiple feet of snow and all of the campers that will come in winter. Join us for our Spring Work Weekend and Fall Work Weekend for an amazing free weekend of service at camp! Camp can not happen without our volunteers!
health care professional
Each week in the summer, we need a a health care volunteer to come take care of the physical needs of our campers. This includes everything from giving out band-aids to camper and staff medications. Because of the scope of the responsibility, we are looking for those that are experienced in the health care field to fill this position. Health Care Volunteers (HCV) are invited to bring their families with them, and for every week they serve, their kids will receive a week of Youth Camp at half price! Please download and read the description for HCV for more information. A background check will be run on all HCV's prior to arrival. If this sounds like you, please fill out the application below!
On Sundays, we are also looking for 2-3 other volunteers that are experienced in the health care field to help check our campers in and get them out of the lines and into the cabins! We need people from 2:30-4pm every week to help check in meds and review the health forms to be sure we can care for all of our campers. If you volunteer, you'll also get a free t-shirt!
