Volunteer At Camp

The traditions of AYF Camp Haiastan are brought to life by the dedication and enthusiasm of our staff and volunteers.

As a volunteer, you’ll learn and enhance skills that transcend Camp, help build your resume and benefit you throughout your personal and professional life - leadership, communication, problem solving, critical thinking, teamwork, and mentorship.

And more importantly, you’ll help foster an inclusive, positive environment and directly enhance a camper’s summer.

If you are looking for one of the most rewarding experiences of your life, we invite you to be part of the Camp family.
