Youth Mentoring Program

Pairs bake, draw, craft, play, take field trips throughout the community together, and much more. Must have availability on Mondays and one other weekday.

Volunteers are responsible for helping keep campers engaged and safe while taking instruction from camp staff. Priority is given to volunteers that can commit to two shifts per week for 2+ hours and individuals with experience working with youth.
Volunteers help lead activities, serve lunch and snack, facilitate free time and games, support field trips, and implement behavior management and more! Summer camp volunteers get to work with great kids and have lots of FUN!
