Make New Friends
Volunteering at Camp Fire Day Camps is a great way to meet others in the community and form new friendships! Long-time day camp volunteer Christine recently shared her story on our blog about meeting her best friend at camp. Christine loves that Camp Fire brings people together that have a common goal and passion to help kids grow and find their spark. Over the years, her group of volunteers have grown to be close friends and she says they are now a big camp family! Friendships made at camp are often lifelong, motivating and inspirational.
Make A Difference
Being a volunteer at Day Camp means you have the opportunity to make a difference in our campers’ lives! Day Camp Volunteer Shannon became a volunteer to follow in the footsteps of her influential Camp Fire Leader who she looked up to when she herself was a camper. Now in her early thirties, Shannon still continues to give back volunteering this summer as a Site Director at Carkeek Park!
