Volunteers provide critical services to the National Park Service, including orientating visitors to Camp Nelson National Monument.

NPS

Join Volunteers-In-Parks (VIP) to support the National Park Service in its mission to preserve and protect our national parks. You can volunteer for a day or year-round; on your own or with friends and family; close to home or at a dream destination. Volunteer opportunities are available nationwide including in U.S. Territories.

What Can VIPs Do at Camp Nelson National Monument?

The possibilities are as diverse as our national parks themselves. Here are some example volunteer activities:

  • Lead or support education and public-facing programs
  • Maintain or rebuild trails
  • Teach others about the park and swear in new Junior Rangers in the visitor center
  • Support libraries, archives, and museums in parks to preserve our cultural resources

Camp Nelson welcomes volunteers, with opportunities to work in the park visitor center, as part of the living history program, or at special events.
