Volunteer roles vary widely — no two positions are exactly alike, covering everything from guest services to logistics and beyond. If you’re interested in helping make the event run, applying is the best way to find out what roles are currently available.
Yes, there’s a minimum shift requirement of 8 hours for volunteers. That’s the baseline time commitment to plan around if you’re considering signing up.
Yes, volunteers can still attend panels and get autographs during their breaks, so volunteering doesn’t mean missing out on the convention experience entirely.
There’s no strict minimum age to volunteer, but children need to be of a responsible age and must have a parent volunteering alongside them rather than signing up independently.
Yes, returning volunteers get priority sign-up for future events, which is one of the perks of having volunteered before.
Yes, training is provided before the event for new volunteers, so you won’t be walking into your first shift without guidance on what to do.

Yes, Camp Cares is a 501(c)3 organization, giving the charitable side of The Camp a formal nonprofit structure behind it.
Donations are typically collected through a pet food drive held at the event — dog or cat food, treats, toys, and similar items are all welcome contributions if you want to bring something along.
The block party format brings music, food trucks, and the distribution of needed items together, rather than following a traditional donation-line model. It’s designed to feel like a community gathering as much as a charitable effort.
