What do we do at Junk Camp?
At Resource Depot’s Junk Camp, children spend the day exploring the possibilities within all the discarded materials in the world around us, learning new ways of transforming everyday objects into extraordinary works of art, developing their imaginations, problem solving skills, and love for the environment in a fun, hands-on way that is unique to Resource Depot!
Volunteers are expected to help the instructor prep, pass out materials and aid students in executing their projects as well as helping with clean up. Most of the day is spent making, so we like our volunteers to be engaged with our campers and having fun themselves. It is a great way to experience art being taught and gain experience working with youth, plus earn community service hours.
Campers are 5-12 years old. Volunteers must be 14 or older.
We do criminal background checks on all camp staff and volunteers. After we process your application, we require an interview and short orientation. We ask that this position be treated like a job; show up on time, call ahead if you can’t make it and be respectful of campers and other staff members. You will have an hour lunch break, you may choose to eat with the campers, or take your break at a different time, so you can help prep projects while the instructor eats with the students. Camp hours are 8:30 am-4/5:00pm, if you have to leave early or want to volunteer half days, that is acceptable as long as arrangements are made ahead of time.
