Who can volunteer?
Are you passionate about supporting children and families as they navigate grief and begin to heal? Camp Knock Knock is a weekend bereavement camp dedicated to providing comfort, connection, and hope to families coping with the loss of a loved one—and we need compassionate, energetic volunteers to help make it all possible!
As a volunteer, you’ll play a vital role in creating a safe, supportive environment where healing can take root. Whether through meaningful conversations, shared activities, or simply being present, your impact will be lasting.
Volunteers must be at least 18 years old and able to pass a background check. While personal experience with grief is not required, many of our volunteers find connection through shared understanding. We also warmly welcome former campers who are ready to give back and support others.

What will I do as a volunteer?
There are many meaningful ways to support Camp Knock Knock as a volunteer. Whether you're lending a hand at the arts & crafts table, joining in on games like LEGO or gaga ball, offering a compassionate ear, or helping prepare meals in the kitchen—there’s a role for every interest and skill set.
During our required volunteer training, you’ll have the opportunity to choose the activities that align best with your strengths and passions.
Many of our volunteers leave camp with a deep sense of fulfillment, knowing they’ve made a lasting impact on families navigating grief.

What are the requirements & accommodations?
All Camp Knock Knock volunteers are required to attend our annual volunteer training, typically held on a Saturday from 8:30 AM to 2:30 PM, about one month before camp weekend. Breakfast and lunch are provided during training, and it's a great opportunity to connect with fellow volunteers and learn how to best support our camper families.
Volunteers have the flexibility to choose how they’d like to participate—whether that’s staying for the full weekend or selecting a specific time block that fits their schedule. For those joining us for the entire weekend, on-site overnight accommodations are available. A CKK t-shirt & all meals are also provided to our volunteers.
Please note: Volunteers must be at least 18 years old and successfully pass a background check to participate.
We look forward to welcoming you to the Camp Knock Knock family!
Are you an experienced clinician or counselor?
In addition to our volunteer roles, we invite experienced clinicians & counselors to volunteer by facilitating age-based grief support groups.
Make it stand out.
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
