Volunteer at Camp!

Volunteers play a vital role in the success of Camp Twin Lakes. From event planning and coordination to working on projects that beautify our campuses, volunteers provide hundreds of hours of service to Camp Twin Lakes each year. We offer a variety of volunteer opportunities for groups and individuals with a range of interests and abilities.

High Priority Volunteer Needs

Camp Counselor openings

We need cabin counselors to volunteer through our Camp Partners for week-long summer as well as fall and spring weekend camps. Volunteers must be available for the entire duration of the camp program and are required to go through a separate application and interview process through the specific Camp Partner as well as attend pre-camp orientation. Age minimum is 18.

Please note: Background checks are required for all volunteers.

Corporate Workdays

Camp Twin Lakes would be happy to organize a corporate workday for small groups of employees. It’s a great way to support Camp Twin Lakes while gaining a positive work experience. Volunteers are needed to assist with a wide variety of campsite improvement projects weekdays during the fall and spring months. Projects may include cleaning, painting, landscaping, simple construction projects, and other beautification efforts around our campsites. If your company is interested in arranging a workday at camp or at your office, please contact Ashley Henderson, Volunteer Coordinator, at 770-867-6123 Ext. 3003 or [email protected].
