Volunteer Opportunities

At camp, we rely on hundreds of volunteers to make our programs run smoothly. Please contact us for more information on volunteering!

Summer Camp Sunday Check-in Ambassador

Adult volunteers are needed to help camper families feel welcome and comfortable while moving their camper in to a cabin for the week.

Scholarship Campaign

Student and parent volunteers are needed to help raise funds for our summer camp scholarship program through personal fundraising goals, helping with thank you calls, and writing thank-you notes.

Corporate or Group Work Day Volunteer

Companies are invited to build community through service by coming to camp for a day to help improve the camp property. Projects include planting trees, mulching, mending fences, painting cabins, and more!

Camp Doctor

We welcome physicians to augment our camp nursing staff in the summer! Our dedicated medical team works under the advisement of longtime Camp Ernst pediatrician Chris Cunha, MD.

Photographer

Professional or hobby photographers age 18 and older can volunteer to spend time taking photos of campers and counselors having fun for our online photo gallery and fundraising/marketing efforts.

Ranch

Individuals with a variety of horse experience can volunteer in our barn to clean stalls, groom horses, and occasionally assist with leading trail rides.
