Volunteer

Counselors stay on site and work directly with campers throughout the camp session. Staff members include those who support logistics such as food, healthcare, and security. Teachers support specific skill development activities such as yoga, land cultivation, structure development, and trail navigation.

Fund-raise in your community
Five for Five Fundraiser
Sustain Change Coin Campaign
Participate in peer-to-peer fundraising to help raise money for Camp 1 Rootz. In this model, each fund-raiser is asked to reach out to five people within their network to invite them to donate small sums of money to Camp 1 Rootz and/or become recurring donors.
Please reach out if you'd like to engage your network in this small but impactful effort!
In 2018, Camp 1 Rootz launched its Sustain Change Coin Campaign to offer individuals a way to repurpose their loose change to support sustainable development at Camp 1 Rootz and in Port Gibson, Mississippi.
Through the collection of loose change, the Camp sees an opportunity to foster substantive progress in the development of camp infrastructure needs as well as provide support for children to attend camp and engage in various activities during their time with Us.
If you would like to get involved in the Sustain Change Coin campaign, please contact Us at camp1rootz@gmail.com for more information. Please place "Sustain Change Coin Campaign" in the subject line.
