Sometimes the most valuable gift one can give is the gift of time. YMCA Camp Immokalee is a community-based organization that depends on the generosity and dedication of hundreds of volunteers each year to help make the camp experience a tremendous success for all.
Camp Immokalee welcomes volunteers of all ages and has a wide variety of volunteer opportunities to match your passion, skills, and schedule. Volunteers are a critical working part of camp who change lives for the better through their efforts! Camp offers volunteers a chance to improve the lives of children and families. Come visit Camp to make a difference!

Volunteer projects are another option that may not require going through our volunteer process to help. We often work with potential Eagle Scouts, scout groups, church groups, service clubs, and more to complete projects around camp. Those projects include things like:
