Volunteering is an amazing way to give back to the camping community that you love!!

Generations of Red Pine campers have benefited from the hard work and ideas of countless volunteers. Now, more than ever, we are in need of volunteers. An aging property, expanded service lines and changes in regulatory requirements have resulted in a lengthy list of projects, large and small.

How can you help?

Get involved! Take a minute and let us know how you would like to be involved with this summer’s operations through this survey LINK.

Mark your calendars! Plan on participating in RPC’s work weekends. For campers new and old, work weekends involve some elbow grease, but also offer a great opportunity to renew or make new acquaintances.

Volunteering is not only limited to Work Weekends and property tasks (although there are a lot of those!), we are looking for volunteers with a wide range of skill sets.  Complete this survey to help us know your expertise.   Reach out to our Executive Camp Director to learn how your skills can benefit your summer fun place ~ Red Pine Camp.
