Adult Volunteer Opportunities
The successful operation of Korean Culture Camp depends on volunteers. We encourage volunteers from every family, and many families have two or more volunteers at camp each year. There are many different areas in which to volunteer at camp. Below is a list and description of our volunteer areas. Please identify the areas where you can help and take the following two steps:
Note: All volunteers, teachers and teens who are 18 years of age or older as of July 15, 2024 are required to complete a background check.
Our volunteers find their time at camp to be fun and rewarding. Without your involvement KCC would not be possible. Thank you in advance.
We appreciate your flexibility and understanding that these opportunities might change a bit. Note - there is NO Saturday program this summer.
