Food Service (any time of year)
Whether or not you are an experienced cook, we can use you in the Magruder kitchen. Our friendly Head & Assistant Cooks will be working by your side offering support and instruction as needed.

Contact the Food Service Manager for more information.
Office Assistance & Camp Store (any time of year)
The office, or Schaad Welcome Center , is usually the first place people connect with Magruder, whether it's by phone, e-mail, or when they arrive. Volunteers with friendly, welcoming smiles and phone voices, who enjoy paperwork, filing, data entry, figures, record-keeping, copying, computers, sorting mail or other office tasks, are needed year-round to help in the camp office. Please contact the Camp Director for more information.
Construction & Maintenance (any time of year)
Camp Magruder is in need of many caring hands to take care of this large facility. Ongoing camp operations and improvement projects require assistance in many skill areas: carpentry, electrical, plumbing, painting, landscaping, trail trimming, sewing, recycling, gardening/composting, welding, roofing, engineering, auto mechanics, small engine mechanics, refrigeration, heating, appliance repair, energy efficiency, or just changing light bulbs, hammering nails, and other minor but important tasks. Please contact the Facilities Manager for more information.
Housekeeping (any time of year)
Getting the camp facilities clean and ready for incoming campers and guests every week and weekend is a huge task, and help is always appreciated. This can include sweeping, mopping, cleaning surfaces, bathrooms, kitchens, restocking paper supplies, washing windows, etc. This is also a great opportunity for a local volunteer to come out to help for a few hours on a regular basis. Please contact the Housekeeping Manager for more information.
