THE SHAMROCK FAMILY

Get Involved!

At Camp Shamrock our volunteer staff are the backbone of everything we do. Joining the ranks of the Shamrock staff is joining a family for life and an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of the children and teenagers under your care.

Shamrock staff work hard, laugh hard and grow as individuals. If you are someone who has energy, enthusiasm and an attitude of service and determination, we are always looking for new people to come and give their talents and personality in service to our kids.

FAQs

  • Camp is in session from approximately the second Monday in July for Girl’s Camp and the Third Thursday in July for Boy’s Camp. Exact dates vary every year so keep an eye on our Facebook page and our website for date announcements.

  • To apply to be a counsellor at Camp Shamrock this year, you must fill out the form at this LINK. This form must be filled out and submitted by May 31st in order to be considered for this year’s camp. After this date the form will no longer be available.

  • You will be in charge of a tent with 3 or 4 campers as their tent leader.

  • For Health & Safety reasons, we have been asked by the Forest Park Rangers to limit the number of vehicles being parked on the campsite.  This will be the mini bus and a few cars (with advance permission from the Directors) for emergency purposes only. 

    We therefore highly recommend that you endeavour as much as possible to carpool to and from the site to minimise any unnecessary vehicles. If you plan to bring your car, it should not be parked on the campsite.  There is a car park nearby, or you can use the space at the top of the field, ensuring you do not block any emergency exits to and from the field. Cars that are parked onsite are subject to a daily fee by the Rangers. 

    Thank you for your understanding.
