No everyone is a volunteer but we do provide a $300 travel stipend if you commit to volunteering for 2 or more weeks.

There are 8 cabins at camp that sleep 8-10 people in bunk beds. Each cabin has a bathroom with an indoor and outdoor shower. We also have smaller cabins for overflow volunteers that sleep 2-4 people.

Camp Jabberwocky is a fun and challenging place for everyone in the community. Counselors are expected to put themselves second to campers and camp as a whole, which helps for it to run smoothly and it gives campers an unforgettable summer experience. That being said, counselors are given about 1-2 “nights off” where they may leave camp starting at dinner time until midnight. In the past, counselors usually do not want to leave for a night because it is so much fun!

A bathing suit and your positive attitude! Do not bring towels or sheets/linens if you want them to return home with you at the end of the summer!

Get some sleep! Days at camp are booked solid with fun and challenging activities so feeling fresh and energized when you arrive would be very helpful.

Camp is the sum of all its parts! It is a strong community of people who work together, take initiative and have a lot of fun in the process. A counselor’s biggest and most important responsibility are the campers and their daily care. Each counselor is also assigned a chore that usually occurs once a day such as: cleaning bathrooms, making lunch, mopping the main cabin floors, dishes, laundry, setting tables, clearing tables and more. Counselors and campers teach the morning classes so bring your special talent and teach us all about it!
