The age range for Summer Youth Volunteers is 13 to 17. This ensures that the camps you are volunteering for don't have campers of the same age and provides the best experience for both volunteers and camp staff.

Some opportunities have additional age requirements listed.

Volunteers will meet program staff, get an overview of which LARPD programs are seeking volunteers this summer, play some games, eat some snacks, and get to know their peers.

We ask at the start of sign ups in May that you only sign up for a max of 2 weeks. A few weeks after that you will be notified when you can add more weeks to your schedule. This gives everyone a fair chance to volunteer.

There is no minimum of number of weeks but we do ask you volunteer a full week, selecting all days in the week when you sign up. Any exceptions will need to be cleared with the program contact person.
