participate

There are many ways to support Camp Prime Time. One is by volunteering in the following ways:

Camp – Volunteers to run camp are always in demand and generally work from late Friday afternoon through early Sunday afternoon. Duties include food preparation, cleaning, and assisting with organized recreation activities such as boat rides or campfire programs.

If you would like to volunteer at camp, we ask that you first complete the Volunteer Application Form and the Volunteer Background Check, returning them to the camp office at your earliest convenience.

Work Parties – Volunteers are needed for opening camp in May and closing of camp in October. Skilled project workers such as carpenters, electricians, plumbers, and other specialized trades are always needed.

Special Events – Volunteers are needed to help coordinate the Prime Time biennial Dinner and Auction fundraising event. A tree recycling service is provided every year after Christmas, which needs many volunteers to keep it running smoothly.
