Volunteering Opportunities

It takes a lot of help, people, and a willingness to give to keep the camp running smoothly. This work can not be done without the hard work and dedication from our volunteers.

Volunteers work at the camp as they can or for organized events. Volunteers have worked small jobs like mowing, weeding, planting flowers, painting to large jobs like putting on our new metal roofs on the Dining Hall, Pump/Well House, and the Caretaker's House. The Camp needs volunteers year round!

If you are willing to volunteer your time, money, materials, or expertise we would love to speak with you!

Please contact us via the contact page or by calling our
Marketing Manager at 740-452-0016.
Seasonal Opportunities

During our busy season, Memorial Day through Labor Day, extra help is always needed. We usually need help with Lifeguarding, Running the Camp Store, Helping in the Kitchen, Cleaning, or Assisting our Customers.

This may only be a few hours a week and the pay would be the State Minimum Wage.

If you are interested in possibly working a few hours a week in the summer at the camp, please contact our Marketing Manager via the contact page or
by phone at 740-452-0016.
