Volunteer Opportunities

Senior Camp Counselor

Medical training/experience is a plus, and a heart filled with compassion is imperative!
Must speak intermediate-level Spanish and enjoy working with children.

Junior Camp Counselor

Children are the best teachers for other children. With this in mind, young people are invited to apply for one of the limited positions offered as Junior Camp Counselor. Junior Camp Counselors are willing to dedicate the majority of their time helping young campers accomplish tasks and achieve goals.

General Volunteer Opportunities

We welcome volunteers who are willing to assist in the office, kitchen, workshop, laundry, gardens, and/or provide general maintenance at the camp. Help with supervisory duties (with Senior Camp Counselors) in art classes, at play, on hikes and/or in the dining hall. If you are willing to volunteer for short or long periods, if you speak some Spanish and can spare some time, we will be happy to hear from you!

Volunteers with Special Skills

During the camp season, we seek volunteers who are experts in the following fields:

• RNs and Practical Nurses
• General Equipment Mechanics and Craftspeople
• Art and Physical Education Teachers (work with Senior Camp Counselors)
• Musicians, Dancers, Singers, Actors and Mimes (teach and perform)

If you have a specialty you would like to share with our campers, please write and let us know your area of interest. You might be able to provide a special program for our campers.
