Behind the scenes, it takes an incredible team of volunteers to help bring camp to life. Whether you can spare a few hours, a full day or support across several weeks, there are opportunities for everyone to get involved.

  • Unpacking equipment from storage containers

  • Setting up tents and camp infrastructure

These volunteering sessions help support the day-to-day operation of camp whilst young people are on-site.

Tasks may include:

  • Supporting the serving of meals

  • Preparing dining and communal areas

  • Washing up and helping keep facilities organised

  • Emptying bins and helping maintain the site

  • Supporting the smooth running of activities behind the scenes

  • Chatting with young people about your career, experiences and interests

As Summer Camp comes to an end, we need a final team of volunteers to help pack camp away safely and efficiently.

This role is essentially the reverse of setup day – taking down tents, packing equipment and helping return the site to normal.

Tasks may include:

  • Taking down tents and camp structures

  • Packing away equipment and supplies Loading storage containers

  • Clearing communal areas

  • General lifting and teamwork tasks

We Can't Do It Without You!

BHY Summer Camp simply wouldn’t happen without volunteers.

Every table carried, meal served and tent erected helps create life-changing experiences for young people across our community.

Thank you for considering being part of the team.
