Each summer interested volunteers go through training to participate in the Artillery Demonstration Crew.

Individuals

Become a part of our team! Position-based volunteer opportunities for individuals vary and can involve working behind the scenes or on the front line in positions ranging from visitor services to natural resource management. Some positions are specialized and require particular talents, knowledge, skills, and abilities, as well as a background check. Other positions only require a desire and willingness to volunteer.

Groups

Your group--whether it's a scout troop, a family, a class, or a group of coworkers--can come to volunteer together! Work projects vary depending upon the time of year, park needs, age of the participants, special skills, and group size (most projects are designed for 5 to 25 people). Contact us to coordinate your volunteer project!
