Camp Casey Adult Volunteers

Volunteers are crucial to camp running smoothly. While counselors ages 16 through college age provide all direct camper care, we rely on our volunteers’ ages 18+ to setup and cleanup, help out in the mess hall, keep campers and counselors safe, assist with laundry, arts-and-crafts, and night-watch. We are looking for much-needed volunteers interested in helping provide campers the best week of their life!

Camp dates for 2024 have been set for July 28th to August 3rd. Please note that Camp is being held at Lions Camp Horizon in Blaine. Camper applications for 2024 will open on Februrary 14th, 2024.

Please complete the appropriate volunteer application online. We complete a Washington State Patrol background check on all volunteers before attending camp. Results will not be released to you unless they are unsatisfactory.

Adult Volunteers

Adult volunteer applications will go live in March, 2024.

NOTE: You must be 18 to volunteer at this year’s camp.

Volunteer Criteria

  • The person must be able to complete their activities of daily living, either
    independently or with a caretaker.
    • Reason: While reasonable accommodations can be made, volunteers are needed to assist the needs of the camp, and we cannot devote the person-power to care of other volunteers. 
  • The person must be at least 5 years removed from attending camp as a camper or 3 years removed and involved with the CREW Club
    • Reason: It is important to the experience and utility of volunteers that they are not using this as an opportunity to return to camp as a camper or counselor.  
  • The person must be willing and able to take direction from the volunteer
    coordinator or other volunteer staff and turn that into actionable duties
    • Reason: Volunteers are required to do a wide range of activities, and we require that they are able to take direction to do so.
