Volunteer Weekends

Giving Back to our community

Volunteers are a big part of what makes Camp Jewell so special. Many of our volunteers have a history with Camp Jewell and are driven to give back to camp in recognition of how meaningful their time at camp was as a camper, staff, or guest.

There’s something special about coming together to give back to a place we all love! Camp Jewell’s Volunteer Work Weekends are a chance for families, alumni, and friends to reconnect, enjoy time at camp, and help make Jewell even better for future generations of campers.

Your Volunteer Work Weekend includes:

  • Cabin accommodations for up to 12 people (one side of a cabin)

  • All meals throughout the weekend at no charge

  • Evening activities and time to relax with family and friends

  • The opportunity to make a lasting difference at Camp Jewell!

Families are welcome to participate together! Please note that children must remain under the supervision of their parent or guardian throughout the weekend, as separate children’s programming is not provided.

How does Work Weekend work?

In exchange for accommodations and meals, volunteers contribute their time and energy to improvement projects around camp. From painting and landscaping to building, repairs, and exciting new additions, there’s always something to do! We offer projects suited to a variety of ages, interests, and abilities, so everyone can get involved.

Volunteer Project Schedule:

  • Saturday: 9:00 AM–12:00 PM and 1:00–5:00 PM

  • Sunday: 9:00 AM–12:00 PM

Work Weekend is about more than completing projects. It’s about sharing stories, reconnecting with camp friends, making new memories, and being part of the community that makes Jewell such a special place.

Take a look at the slideshow below to see some of the incredible projects our volunteers have helped bring to life.

Many hands make a big difference. There’s no place like this place!
