Become a Volunteer Camp Assistant!
Is your child too old for camp, but still looking for ways to stay engaged during school breaks? Great! We offer valuable youth leadership training in the form of a Volunteer Class Assistant Program for spring break and summer camps! Participants in this program will gain hands-on experience working within a nationally accredited living history museum. They will assist with camp activities under the mentorship of one of our experienced camp teachers. In order to qualify, applicants must be at least 15-years-old and have attended at least one week of camp or volunteered for 20 hours or more in the Historic Village or Nature Center.
Apply today by completing the youth application form. If you have any questions, please email camp@gcv.org to reach our Camp Manager.
Camp Hard Hat
This week-long day camp (taught by BOCES Building Trades instructors) provides students ages 12-15 the opportunity to build a community project in a regional attraction. Campers will learn the principles of design and construction, project safety, and the power of teamwork which, along with the hands-on construction, may propel the campers into their future careers!
