Apply to Volunteer with us!

Thank you your interest in volunteering. Volunteers are at the heart and soul of Barretstown. You play a leading role in providing the magical transformative experience we give our campers and their families. We could not do it without you.

Volunteers at Barretstown are know as Caras , the Irish word for friend. As a Cara you have a key role in supporting and encouraging each child to take part in all aspects of camp, while making sure they’re safe and supervised at all times. And most importantly you’ll help them have fun!
