Each year, we accept a handful of volunteers to support our classrooms. Volunteers must be at least 20 years old and submit clearances/background checks. Volunteers are not required to attend every day of camp but are able to contribute as their schedule allows. Volunteers are expected to attend camp training on Sunday, July 26, 2026.

Volunteers support our arts classrooms through:

Art supply management and maintenance (i.e. passing out paper, cleaning paint brushes).
Assisting with day to day classroom setup and clean up
Supporting campers' engagement by modeling participation
Helping instructors and campers with the technology needed for their lessons (phone set ups, audio recording, cameras, etc)
Volunteers may be placed in classrooms depending on areas of expertise and interest, including writing, animation, music, art, performance, or film

Volunteers benefit by:

Being an integral part of a unique camp that centers on neurodivergent campers
Seeing a variety of classroom management strategies and techniques
Gain experience with industry standard technologies and materials
