more than one program that you would be willing to volunteer for. Number the programs by

choice. If you choose one program, your application will not be processed. NOTE Volunteers applying for
the Junior Good Days Programs may select only 1 program.
Information on the various programs can be found in the programs section of the web site. Some of the

Training
New York Law requires that all applicants attend a training session prior to their camp session.
Attendance is MANDATORY. If you do not attend the training session, you will not be able to volunteer
at camp.
Please Read Carefully:
I am aware that in being accepted as a volunteer, I am committed to complete the MANDATORY
TRAINING requirement by attending the below checked training program. The information provided by
me in the volunteer application is true and complete to the best of my knowledge. I understand that if I
am selected, any false statements will be considered cause for possible dismissal. You are hereby
authorized to conduct a criminal background investigation of myself.
By volunteering for a camp session, you are making a commitment for the entire session for which you
are selected. Early departure from a program is unfair to the campers and other volunteers; therefore it
is not encouraged. Volunteers are expected to remain on the Camp Property at all times during the
camp session.
