Volunteer Programs

Volunteer Opportunities at Camp Jewell

Camp Jewell serves over 20,000 people annually on a 540 acre site that continually needs to be updated, renovated, and repaired. As a volunteer you get to join a family of Camp Jewell supporters who give their time to make camp even better!

Each year camp hosts two volunteer weekends open to anyone who wants to lend a hand to help camp.

Of course the weekend isn’t all work, we play as well! Several program areas are open for the whole family to enjoy, including a host of special evening activities. While adults are out working on their volunteer projects during the day, children between 3-12 years of age are supervised by Camp Jewell staff members and enjoy special activities and fun! There is no charge for the weekend and spaces fill quickly!
