Volunteers

Every year hundreds of volunteers serve at Trout Lake Camps. They range in age from junior high students to 90-year-old retirees. Camp at Trout Lake has happened going back to 1947 thanks to donations of time, skill and sweat. Every one of those volunteers has joined a legacy that goes back to the sacrifices and contributions of the very first volunteers who made this camp a reality.

Trout Lake Camps can use volunteers year-round. Typically during the winter months we are building and developing the grounds as well as preparing for camp. Volunteers assist in many different areas such as:

health lodge professionals (nurses, EMTs) during the summer
construction
basic yard cleanup
garden maintenance
painting
electrical
plumbing
cement

Summer 2021!

Trout Lake Camps is committed to providing the safest camp experience possible for our campers and staff. We monitor MDH and CDC Covid guidelines to remain up-to-date concerning operating recommendations and requirements. Since MDH and CDC change their guidelines frequently, we will be sending Trout’s Covid plan to you one week prior to your camp week as well as posting updated info on our website. We will not make changes while your camper is at Trout.
