A Note on Our Current Capacity
While our heart’s wish is to welcome every child to camp, we are currently a volunteer-run program and do not have the professional staff or specialized facilities required to support children with significant behavioral, mental, or physical needs.
In addition, to ensure a safe and joyful experience for everyone, we are only able to accept campers who are fully independent in their daily self-care. This includes the ability to:
Use the bathroom unassisted.
Shower and dress themselves independently.
Navigate a group environment without one-on-one professional supervision.
By staying within these boundaries, we ensure our volunteer counselors can mindfully support the whole group and that every child has a safe, harmonious experience. We deeply appreciate your understanding as we work within our current capacity.
Although our camp does not have the professional capacity to support children with special needs, we are fully licensed and committed to providing a safe and supportive environment for all campers and volunteers. We comply with all Orange County camp licensing regulations and will have licensed medical personnel on site throughout the program to safeguard participants health and safety.
Youth and Parents Application

Once you apply, our volunteer lead will reach out for a friendly chat. It’s a great way for us to get to know each other and ensure the role is a perfect fit for your interests and the camp’s needs.
Trainings & Preparation

Attend scheduled trainings. We are seeking volunteers who would like to support our camp community in different ways. A variety of volunteer roles are available based on commitment level and skill set. All volunteers will receive training and role-specific preparation, which will begin in May and June depending on the role.
The Spirit of Generosity
To support your practice, camp attendance is free for all volunteers. We invite you to view your service as a way to accumulate merit through the gift of your time. If you feel moved to further support our mission, we also gratefully accept monetary donations. All contributions, whether through joyful service or financial support, help keep our camp accessible for the entire Sangha.
A heart of gratitude is the happiest one.
