Volunteer

Volunteering for Indian Summer Camp can be a life changing experience. Having the opportunity to get to know these very special children and their families is a once-in-a-life experience. Read what some of our volunteers have said about giving their time to Indian Summer Camp:

"Indian Summer Camp is a powerful source of meaningful friendships. It’s a place full of love and caring.”
-Greg Wells, volunteer for 13years

"The campers and volunteers always develop amazing, loving, bonds that are hard to explain to anyone who hasn’t been to camp.”

"I love getting to know the children and having the opportunity to truly make a difference in their life. I feel so privileged to be a part of the Indian Summer Camp family.”

We have a variety of volunteer opportunities:
