Why volunteer at Camp Fire?
Volunteering at Camp Fire offers intangible rewards, the kind that stay with you for years to come, those moments with a child that can make your day and change your life.
We at Camp Fire are proud of our high-quality programs, but we know we could never operate without the help of our volunteers. With that, we want to work around you and your schedule. Whether you have a week, a day or only an hour you can volunteer at Camp Fire.
*Please note that all volunteers who work directly with children must first complete a background check. Camp Fire can deny volunteers based on substandard background check results.
Getting Started: Current & Future Ways to Volunteer
Current Volunteer Opportunities:
Outdoor Classroom
Students take a field trip to Camp Fire to learn about science, using nature as their guide. This is a fun-filled day that allows children to experience education outside of the classroom.
How you can volunteer for Outdoor Classroom:
Fishing Activity Leader - This volunteer helps the children as they fish in our pond! This volunteer ensures the children are properly using and handling the fishing poles and helps them get bait on their hooks. This volunteer will also help get fish off of the hooks when the children catch them!
Low-Challenge Ropes Course Leader - This volunteer helps children as they overcome obstacles on the ropes course. The volunteer shows children how to overcome these obstacles and ensure their safety as they do.

Campground Improvement
A great group or family volunteer activity!
We have several painting projects around camp!
Depending on the size of your group, we can also find some larger projects to do, such as sealing a wall before painting or moving larger materials around camp.
If you have special skills such as flooring or plumbing and would like to volunteer we have many projects in which we need your skills!
Dates and Times: When the volunteer is available. Many volunteers who can’t volunteer during the week volunteer to help around camp on Saturdays. Our only request is that you give us at least a two-week notice (or earlier, if possible) before you or your group want to come, so we can ensure we have all the materials necessary for your project.
