Do you want to make a difference for youth learning to explore forests while having fun volunteering? Joining the Volunteer Work Crew is an excellent way to build your skill set, gain experience working in a dynamic camp environment, and meet amazing friends. The Volunteer Work Crew members are integral to our team and provide critical support for camp programs. Volunteers split their time between assisting programs, facilities, and food services staff. Volunteers help clear trails, assist with supervising recreation areas like the boat dock and climbing wall, join the program staff team to lead overnight hikes, and so much more! Given that volunteers, staff, and campers stay onsite at the Evans Lake Forest Education Centre while camp is in session, the action never stops.
