Due to the special needs of our campers, we have a few requirements that our volunteers must meet. Volunteers must be 19 years of age or older. Volunteers are also required to provide us with a physical, TB test, and immunizations (Hepatitis B, MMR, Varicella and Tdap).
Please reach out to Claire Rutan, our Volunteer Director, if you have any questions.
Crew Chief
Crew Chiefs are paired with a family and serves as their guide throughout the weekend. That means welcoming your family to camp, escorting them throughout their camp experience and enjoying the joys of camp with all members of the family. Your role is very important because as the initial face of Victory Junction and the family’s constant representation, you have a major part in the feel of camp and the community that is established. In short, laugh, play and care for your campers!

Volunteers are needed during our fall and spring weekends to help prepare, supervise and facilitate one of our program areas at camp. In addition, each program chief is expected to join the family they are assigned to for meals, evening programming and any other time they are not needed in their program area. During Family Weekend, Program Chiefs are needed in Archery, Arts & Crafts, Boating, Fishing and Woodworking.
