Can You Help us Build Our Organization?
Doe Camp has been a popular women's program for nearly 30 years. Now we are branching out to build a stronger community and new experiences for our followers.
In order to lighten the work load, we need volunteers in several areas. Our activity will be driven by the input that we receive so at this point, anything is possible. Once our list of needed volunteers is ready, I'll let you know. We will be building an all volunteer team to assist in programing. Grant writers, social media pros, day event planners, advisors, sponsor development coordinators, membership development assistants, writers, website developers, photographers, outdoor educators, trip planners, the list goes on.
If you would like to sponsor Doe Camp Nation or volunteer in organizing or teaching, please contact: [email protected]
