individual volunteers
Individual volunteers help support Camp Tatiyee through a variety of special projects and service opportunities throughout the year.

Group volunteer opportunities are a great way for businesses, community organizations, schools, churches, and civic groups to make a meaningful impact together. Volunteer groups may assist with projects such as serving meals to campers, landscaping, painting, maintenance projects, facility improvements, cleaning, assembling supplies, and other hands-on service opportunities that help prepare camp for the summer season.
Camp Tatiyee also hosts off-season volunteer work weekends where groups can spend dedicated time helping improve and maintain the camp property in the beautiful White Mountains of Arizona. These experiences provide a unique opportunity for teams to give back, build camaraderie, and directly support hundreds of children with special needs who attend camp each year.
