Get Involved & Volunteer!
There’s much to do at Upward Bound Camp! Between camper programming, property/facility maintenance and improvements. There is always something to do, and volunteers help to keep it all going!
We are also looking to add new Board Members to our committee. If you are interested in being involved, please fill out the volunteer form and let us know your interests.
Volunteer Opportunities
Off Season: Campus Care
Volunteers play a vital role in the operation of UBC. Though opportunities are currently limited we could not do what we do without volunteer help. Due to the temporary nature of our structures, it takes a significant amount of manpower to both set up and tear down the campus so that it is clean, safe, and welcoming to our campers and families. We welcome volunteers of all ages for our volunteer days and are sure that we will have something for everyone to do no matter their ability or skill level!
Spring: April 24 & 25, May 15 & 16
10am-4pm LUNCH PROVIDED
Tent setup and camp preparation
Fall: (~2 5 hr. days, TBD) Tent teardown and winter prep (opposite of spring)
Fill out the form below if you are interested in volunteering during our off-season.
Summer: Weeklong Volunteer Counselor
Join the UBC team for an entire week of camp! Receive all necessary training prior to camper arrival and assist counselors to build meaningful relationships with Upward Bound Campers through supporting them in conversation, mealtimes, activities, and more. Weeklong volunteers stay on camp property and complete around 60 hrs. of service during their time at camp. Engage with UBC staff each night to reflect on your experience, ask questions, and discuss topics relevant to the campers served. We work with various Oregon schools to ensure that all requirements for service are met and/or exceeded!
