Why Volunteer at Twilight Camp?
It's a great experience and a wonderful way to make a positive impact in the life of a camper. Parents and adults who have volunteered in the past have told us it's the best time they had all summer.
We Need You!
Twilight Camp is completely volunteer run by parents and adults. You don't need any experience with camping, outdoor skills, or nature - just a desire to put on a great program for the girls.
Where am I Needed?
We have the greatest need for adults who can volunteer at camp for a full day and work with campers. Everything will be prepared for you, with older girls and program area directors in charge.
Please register to volunteer and we'll send a Sign-Up Genius after registration closes with days/times/spots available so you can pick the volunteer assignments that meet your schedule and skill set. Four-day volunteers receive a $25 discount off a child's registration and a free t-shirt.
Please email info@twilightcamp.org with any questions.
Volunteer Orientation
Thank you for volunteering at Twilight Camp! Twilight Camp is hosted by the Girl Scout volunteers in Eastern Carver County, New Brighton, and surrounding communities.
Camp occurs in the “twilight” of the day, approx. 2:00 - 8:00 pm, so adults can work and meet family commitments in the morning, then help out at camp in the afternoon.
Unit Guides: Adult chaperones who assist Caddies with health and safety issues, mentor the Older Girls, and support activities. Must volunteer for two or four days.
Activity Volunteers: Activity helpers who guide crafts, snacks, and activities. Enthusiastic and comfortable with children and teens. Deliver the same activity multiple times a day with provided materials and instructions.
Older Girl Team: Provide training and mentoring to Caddies, support programming, and assist with camper logistics. Camp counselor experience is helpful but not required. Passion for mentoring young leaders is a must.
Swim Watchers: Assist professional lifeguards by greeting units, reminding Caddies of the Buddy System, and watching for solo campers. Stay at the beach and interact with every unit daily.
Camp Setup: Help set up camp in Chanhassen on Sunday afternoon. Transport and set up equipment. Large vehicles like minivans, pickups, or SUVs are helpful but not required.
Camp Take Down: Assist with bringing in equipment, organizing, and transporting gear back to storage on Thursday evening. Large vehicles are helpful but not required.
Other Roles as Needed: Help with various small tasks like Target runs, picking up photos, and delivering ice. Many hands make light work!
