2025 Staff and Volunteer Application

We are committed to creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for all program participants and staff. Understanding and respecting your gender identity and pronouns is important to us. Please help us get to know you better by completing this form.

We recognize that gender identity is a personal and fluid journey. If your gender identity or pronouns happen to change before you arrive or while you're at camp, we kindly ask that you let a staff member know so we can update our records and ensure you're addressed in a way that feels right for you. This information will only be used for internal camp purposes (like name tags) and will be kept confidential. Your privacy is important to us; we are here to support you! If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us anytime!
