Teen Volunteer Counselor (Ages 16+)

As a Teen Volunteer Counselor, you'll dedicate one week of your summer to leading a small group of younger campers. During that week, volunteers guide kids through games, outdoor cooking, and nature-focused activities. Each volunteer attends one training day before camp starts (dates are listed below). Taking on this role helps teens develop leadership skills, learn about child development, and sharpen their outdoor abilities — and the hours can count toward school and organization volunteer requirements.
