Camp Parents have the special role of caring for the extra emotional needs of primary campers, as well as having great opportunities to support the leaders. Having a camp ‘Mum and Dad’ helps make kids feel welcome, safe, and supported. Camp Parents often bring their own children which helps foster a sense of family and community on camp.

Express your interest and we’ll help you find a place to serve that suits your family.
