We are always in need of Day Camp Volunteers!

Camp Fire relies on our amazing adult and teen volunteers to make the magic of Day Camp happen for kids each summer! Volunteering is easy and fun and the best part - making a difference in the life a child! Join us this summer!

Training

All LEAD, Teen Counselor, and Adult volunteers are required to attend two training sessions prior to camp. Volunteers must attend one offsite training held at locations throughout the Puget Sound, there are a variety of days and times to choose from, as well as the onsite training specific to your week of day camp, typically held the Saturday or Sunday prior to that particular week. If you volunteer at more than one week of day camp, you are required to attend the onsite training for each day camp location.

Day Camp Training Dates are posted to our calendar as they are made available. Registration for the offsite training is required.

Adult Volunteers

There is a need for many different skill sets at Day Camp! Adults can volunteer at any of our Day Camp sites except for Camp Sealth as counselors, activity specialists, purchasers, equipment managers or health care managers. Full-time adult volunteers get a $100 discount on day camp registration for their own children. Children of full-week adult volunteers will automatically gain entrance into the camp of their choice and will be immediately taken off the wait list.
