Mountaindale East Day Camp is 100% volunteer organized and directed.  Many people comprise the volunteer staff; Campers, Parents, Grandparents, Aunts and Uncles, Friends, and Community members who just want to make a difference in the lives of young people. 

Unit Leaders - The most crucial volunteer for camp is the Unit Leader.  This person spends his/her time at camp working with another Unit Leader and Program Aides to provide guidance to a group of 12-16 Girl Scouts or Tag-a-longs.  Unit Leader positions are available for the following groups:

Daisy Units - Girls entering Kindergarten and 1st grade in the Fall of 2012

Brownie Units - Girls entering 2nd and 3rd grade in the Fall of 2012

Junior Units - Girls entering 4th and 5th in the Fall of 2012

Outdoor Skills Unit - Girls entering 6th grade in the Fall of 2012

PAIT Unit - Girls entering 7th grade in the Fall of 2012

Tag-a-long Unit - Campers age up the age of 5 years old

Boys Unit - Boys entering grades 1-6 in the Fall of 2012

Approximately 50 Volunteers are needed for the camp session.

 Camp Angels - These are the volunteers who are unable to work at camp, but would still like to help out.  Camp Angels have a variety of important jobs such as helping with shopping, loading and unloading equipment, sorting t-shirts, supervising bus rides and many other essential tasks.  If you can't come camp, please consider becoming a Camp Angel!

Core Staff - Mountaindale East wouldn't take place if it were not for the dedication of the Camp Directors and the primary organizers who are known as the Core Staff.  This key group includes the Registrar, Business Manager, Cook, Resource Coordinator, Craft Coordinator, and the Health/Safety Specialist.  Core Staff members meet on a monthly basis to ensure everything at camp runs smoothly.  These positions are appointed by the Camp Director. If you are interested in one of these positions, please contact  

the Directors for more information.
