Youth Summer Camp Volunteer Programs
Leaders In Training Experience
Our Leaders In Training Experience (LITE) program is a volunteer workshop in which teens (14 – 17 years of age) develop the necessary leadership and communications skills to volunteer at our summer camps. Volunteers are coached in camp safety, volunteer expectations, group dynamics, age appropriate learning and lots more. They gain valuable work experience, earn school community service requirements and have lots of fun!
Volunteers must be 14 or have completed the 8th grade by June 30th, attend an interview, attend a 4 hour training workshop, enjoy working with children, have a positive attitude, pay a $25 fee (due at workshop and covers cost of training supplies), and make a minimum 80 hour volunteer commitment following successful completion of the workshop.

Safety Town (Ages 12-15)
Responsible, enthusiastic volunteers are needed to help provide a safety education program for preschool children.
Volunteers lead a variety of activities including arts and crafts, games, songs, outdoor and other recreational activities that are designed to teach children 4-6 years of age how to be safe while still having lots of fun!
Volunteers gain valuable work experience while developing leadership skills and increasing student community service hour records!
Volunteers must attend a staff led training session held early in the summer and make a two-week volunteer commitment.
These camps are held mid-June through July. To request an information packet or for more information, call Cedar Hills Recreation Center at 503/629-6340.
