Show off your unit! This monthly

We are looking for a volunteer who is interested in a unique volunteer position. Camp Gorham needs basic caretaking skills for 2026. You can stay in the Ranger’s house with all utilities paid and come and go as you please. We ask that you keep an eye on camp and handle some of the basic maintenance around camp. Handle basic needs at your own pace including pool upkeep, plumbing, and electrical. This will be a fun volunteer position that could lead to a full time Ranger position in 2027. If interested, please email stephanie.balmer@scouting.org.
