Camp programs 🏕️
Explore volunteer opportunities connected with organised camps around the world. These may include educational, cultural, language, nature, sports or community-based programs where adult volunteers help with activities, workshops, practical organisation or group support.
Camp roles vary considerably. Some programs run for only a few days or weeks, while others operate throughout a season. Accommodation may be provided in dormitories, cabins, shared rooms or tents depending on the project.
What is a camp program? 🏕️
Here, a camp means an organised temporary program built around shared activities, learning, recreation, volunteering or community life. This is different from simply staying or volunteering at a campsite. For projects where camping itself is mainly the setting or accommodation, see Camping.
Camps involving children or teenagers
Some camp programs are organised for children or teenagers even though the volunteer roles published on Voluntouring.org are for adults. In these settings, responsibilities should be clearly defined and supervised. Volunteers should not replace trained staff or take independent responsibility for children without appropriate procedures and oversight.
Before applying, ask about safeguarding rules, staff supervision, role boundaries, background checks where applicable and policies concerning photographs and contact with minors. See also safer approaches to volunteering with children.
