Volunteers

An opportunity for impact

Whether you want to make your summer more meaningful or provide ongoing support throughout the year, Camp Wapiyapi is always looking for more volunteers to help us create magic in our community. As a volunteer, you'll be an integral part of our close-knit camp staff, bringing smiles, laughter, and unforgettable memories to children and families facing the challenges of pediatric cancer.

Volunteering at Camp Wapiyapi is not just about giving back; it's an opportunity for personal growth, gaining new perspectives, and forming lifelong friendships. Join us in creating a truly magical and meaningful summer for these incredible kids!

It’s more than just a week for these families. It’s truly a lifetime of memories that you’re giving these kids and yourself when you volunteer — this experience changes you and them for the better.

I want to make sure other kiddos get the same experience I did…Even if I make half the impact on one camper that I experienced, I think it’s all worth it.

It’s really special that we get to be there with these kids and hang out with them for a week, and just be with them as they come out of their shells and express themselves.

My favorite part of camp is just having fun and being silly right alongside the campers. Camp is really just such a unique atmosphere.

Become a campus ambassador

We recruit volunteers from universities across the Front Range and beyond. Many of our current volunteers hail from a wide range of programs, from Penn State to USC to the University of Wyoming. Whatever campus you claim, we're looking for students interested in championing Camp Wapiyapi and getting more volunteers to join us for our summer sessions.

As a Campus Ambassador, you can help spread the word to fellow students, offer informational sessions or host local fundraisers, and get more people excited to be a volunteer — all while gaining service hours and creating a bigger impact for Camp Wapiyapi.
