Founded in 1991 to Create A More Positive (CAMP) Rehoboth with room for all, today CAMP Rehoboth is a well-respected institution in Rehoboth Beach and local communities. We bring support and services to all citizens through our long-term connections and partners in the larger community. We also offer fun-filled events for residents and vacationers alike. How is all this achieved? Many volunteers work in countless ways-- both big and small-- to accomplish this mission and have fun too! Sign up today to join our volunteer team.  We need you!

Recurring Volunteer Needs

 

 

CAMPcierges

CAMP Rehoboth is looking for people-oriented individuals to volunteer as a "CAMPcierge" to support the daily operations of the CAMP office. CAMPcierges are the “first faces” for people visiting or contacting CAMP, and duties include welcoming visitors, answering the phone and fielding questions in support of the CAMP staff. Generally, CAMPcierges work one or two shifts a week (Morning: 9 - noon or Afternoon: 1- 4), and there is also a need for folks to fill in occasionally during busy times or when a regular volunteer is unavailable. CAMPcierges are needed for some shifts during the week, and for Saturday shifts.  For more information, e-mail matty@camprehoboth.com.

 

CROP: CAMP Rehoboth Outreach Program

The CAMP Rehoboth Outreach Program (CROP) is constantly working to cultivate community and strengthen relationships and the connection between us all. To receive emails about CROP volunteer opportunities, please email volunteer@camprehoboth.com.

 

CAMP Families

CAMP Families is a network of LGBTQ+ inclusive families with LGBTQ+ parents, families with LGBTQ+ children, and sometimes, a little of both. We are families who live in Rehoboth Beach and the surrounding area, as well as families who visit the beach area frequently. We are committed to building community, supporting each other, and creating great and meaningful memories with each other here in Rehoboth Beach.  We are looking for families to both propose and take the lead on activites and events.  If you have an idea you would like to share, or want to join the next event, send an email to Tara.
