Camp Staff and Volunteers:
Camp season is not complete without our summer camp staff. College students with a heart for summer camping programs are invited to apply. Each summer Tawakoni hires four to six Summer Leadership Interns to assist with a variety of tasks and activities including maintaining the pool, lifeguarding, tending campfires, leading games, serving food, washing dishes, facilitating challenge course activities, tending grounds, and more. They’ve even been known to step in as counselors when needed, and to lead music and energizers!
2021 Summer Camp Leadership Intern Application – Closed
Volunteers for counselors, nurses, and maintenance workers are always needed. All summer volunteers are asked to fill out a volunteer application form including references. For the safety of the children we work with, all volunteers are required to pass a background check.
