Volunteer Opportunities

Camp Staff Volunteer

Be a positive adult role model for campers by serving on our volunteer camp staff during summer sessions. Camp staff help lead activities, support campers, and bring enthusiasm and heart to every moment.

Medical Volunteers

Volunteer as a doctor, nurse, or medic to help ensure campers have safe, supervised medical support throughout camp. Your expertise allows more families to enjoy the camp experience with peace of mind.

Event Volunteers

Support Camp4Kids fundraising events throughout the year by helping plan, set up, and assist during activities. These events raise critical funds so that every child can attend camp, regardless of financial need.

General & Administrative Volunteers

Not able to be at camp during the summer? No problem! We need year-round help with tasks like mailings, data entry, filing, phone support, and other essential behind-the-scenes work that keeps Camp4Kids thriving.
