Camp at Home: Volunteers
Fall 2021 Volunteer Opportunities
Each season brings new opportunities for us to connect as a Camp community and The Painted Turtle is pleased to share a variety of Fall programs that will need fantastic volunteers!
The Painted Turtle continues to follow the recommendations of the CDC, State of California, and LA County Public Health Department to keep informed on COVID-19 progress and guide decisions on camp programming. With safety as the top priority, we will follow this guidance closely.
