Instrument instruction happens in the morning and band practice happens after lunch every day. Limited staff and volunteers will remain in the space until all campers have been through the check-out process. The camper showcase is on the Saturday after camp ends.

Lunch is provided for all volunteers. If you have dietary needs we may not be able to meet, please bring your own meal.

Transportation

We do not provide transportation, but we’re happy to help connect volunteers for carpools or transit planning when possible.

Child Care

We do not currently offer on-site childcare for volunteers’ dependents.

Background Check

Our volunteer mentors are thoughtfully selected and screened through an online application, in-person or phone interview, and annual criminal background checks. Reviews are conducted thoughtfully with youth safety as the priority. If you have questions about the background check process, please email info@rockcampslc.org
