In order to prioritize the health and safety of campers, volunteers, and staff, we have made the difficult decision to suspend Camp programs and volunteer days this spring. During this challenging time, we will continue to monitor the situation and follow the recommendations and guidelines of the Centers for Disease Control and American Camp Association. Though we will miss hosting campers for the next several weeks, we are hopeful that we will serve campers this summer. We will inform all volunteers in a timely manner as we update our plans.
To sign up to receive information about volunteer opportunities, please complete this short survey.
Our volunteers play a vital role in the success of Camp Twin Lakes. From event planning and coordination, to working on projects at our campsites, 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. Those who want to make an ongoing commitment to volunteering at Camp Twin Lakes are encouraged to help out in any of the following ways:
Urgent Needs
We are looking for male counselors for many of our summer camps!
Please contact mailto: kristen@camptwinlakes.org for more information.
Camp Counselors
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 contact Volunteer Recruitment Coordinator, Kristen Hill for more details on becoming a camp counselor! Click here to see our most urgent needs.
