Volunteer at Camp - Ten Oaks Project

IN THIS SECTION: Camp Lifting Leaves

At Project Acorn, I realized that I can have a powerful voice.

Youth Advisory Committee member

The best part of Project Acorn for me was seeing how much love and support is built in such a short span of time.

When I left Project Acorn, the world was a different, more magical, and more manageable place.

Being a camper has opened my eyes to the diversity within the LGBTQ+ community, to the diversity of the group I’m a part of.

I can credit the beautifully diverse chosen family that I now have to Ten Oaks. It’s filled a great void in the community for me.

As staff, we create an intentional space for our campers where for one week, they don’t have to be afraid or ashamed of anything about themselves.

The sense of belonging and community that I get from Ten Oaks is something that I can feel year-round.

Camp Ten Oaks has shown me that I can be whoever I want to be. And, nobody can ever judge me for that.

Volunteer at Camp Lifting Leaves

Applications are not yet open for volunteers for Camp Lifting Leaves 2021. Check back here in late August for applications!

All volunteers must successfully complete an interview, reference checks, and a police background check.

HONORARIUMS

Camp Lifting Leaves offers its volunteers a tiered scale honorarium to cover expenses such as time off work and transportation to and from camp.

Tier 1: I do not require an honourarium

Tier 2: $100

Tier 3: $150

Tier 4: $200

To help us make Camp Lifting Leaves accessible to as many people as possible, we ask that you select the tier that best reflects your budget. If none of the honouraria levels would make volunteering at camp accessible to you, the Programs Manager is available to discuss options.

Only the Programs Manager, the Executive Director and the Treasurer will know the tier volunteers select. This information will be held in the strictest confidence.
