Volunteer Friends

14 Years Old and Up

Now that your camper has made their way all the way through our camp (what we refer to as a lifer in the biz) it is time to Volunteer. Volunteers are placed in a cabin each week, where they will learn from some of our savvy veteran staff members.

Please note that all volunteers must fill out our online application on their own (not the parent), have an interview with one of the SaSS administrative staff members, and get fingerprinted/background checked.

*Summer at Sandy Spring is SSL approved by Montgomery County Public Schools, but please check with your child’s individual school before camp begins to ensure SSL hours will be accepted.
