During the Coyote Tracks program, the bulk of the volunteer work revolves around the kitchen. We rely on our helpers to assist the cooks in food preparation, kitchen clean up, and dishwashing. There are also other tasks having to do with keeping the program area clean and sanitary. This help is greatly needed, and greatly appreciated. In exchange there are opportunities for volunteers to observe or participate in the programs, with some guidelines for conduct so that the learning experience of the students is not impinged upon. Volunteers might get involved in helping instructors prepare for the days activities, possibly gathering materials needed for a workshop, or fun things like camouflaging in at a site where the kids will be brought. There are also times when they are able to join in fully on the activity of the moment. As a volunteer there is often ample free time to work on skills or just enjoy the beautiful setting of our camp location.
You do not need to have children in the program in order to volunteer. It is helpful to have taken the Coyote Tracks or Tracker School equivalent of the program before volunteering. Volunteers are accepted for individual or multiple weeks.
