Camp Hope offers a variety of volunteer opportunities for both sessions.
Pre-Camp Set Up and DECORATE volunteer
Volunteers are needed to assist with unloading camp equipment from the storage locker and transporting the camp location. Trucks are provided. The majority of the activity includes moving playground equipment and other camp equipment from the storage facility onto the truck. Also includes assisting with camp set-up (1 ½ - 3 hr commitment).
DORM DUTY
Dorm Duty is a much-appreciated volunteer opportunity. After getting the Campers off to bed, Group Leaders and Buddies gather to share the highs and lows of the day. It's a sacred time of reflection and bonding for the buddies who have been ON all day!
As Dorm Duty Monitor, you will be sitting in the dormitory building monitoring if a Camper wakes and needs help. It's a great time to catch up on a book.

Volunteers are needed to assist with camp close up at the camp site on Friday to assist with packing and cleaning (2-3 hour commitment).
