Do you have skills to share, lessons to teach, or resources to give? We’d love to welcome you into the Camp1 family.

It takes a joyful team of volunteers of all ages to bring our camp to life. From leading activities to cheering on campers, every role is filled with purpose and play.

🌱 Teen Counselor Volunteer Program

We’re proud to offer a Junior Counselor Training Program for teens who want to grow as leaders and mentors. This hands-on experience allows teens to:

  • Build leadership and communication skills

  • Support younger campers through games, nature, and creative activities

  • Be part of a team that models confidence, kindness, and inclusion

It’s more than volunteering—it’s a chance to be seen, valued, and empowered.
