TIME
Those wishing to volunteer just for development of the camp prior to camp operations are needed. No one under the age of 18 may volunteer without a parent or group leader on site as a volunteer. The parent/ group leader is responsible for the supervision of their child at all times. A waiver must be signed by the potential volunteer in the camp office prior to participation.
Please contact our volunteer coordinator at melissa@livingwellvillage.org to see if your skills match our needs.
