1. Volunteer as a Counselor!

Make a huge, personal difference in the life of a child. You must be 16 and have a love of kids, willingness to work hard, and ability to sign silly songs. :) Volunteer for one week, or all six. Applications are now available! Download, print, fill out and mail in to be approved.

 

2. Adopt-a-Camper! 

Did you know it costs us about $800 to host each camper? And all kids attend for free. We are only able to run Camp Carefree with your support. Donate securely online.

 

3. Volunteer as a Nurse!

We are especially in need of RNs for Kids and Siblings weeks. Please contact us if you can volunteer for a week. Your family is welcome to join you!

Do you have contacts or friends who would volunteer to bring fun activities to entertain our kids this summer? Know a clown who could do a show? A guy with a helicopter to wow us with a touch-down? Maybe you know a celebrity or sports team who might pay a visit? Contact us with your ideas.

 

8. Shop on Amazon!

Here's a way to help that doesn't cost you a dime. Simply shop via smile.amazon.com and designate Camp Carefree as your charity of choice. Amazon donates a portion of purchases directly to us.

 

9. Cook and/or serve a meal!

Groups who want to interact with the campers and help us with a huge expense - food - can sign up their group to provide a meal during a summer camp session(s). You can either bring catered food, or the ingredients and prepare in our commercial kitchen. Contact us to reserve a date.
