Little Bennett Campground is hosting a spooky Haunted Trail and Magic Pumpkin Patch this Fall, and needs volunteers to help it be the spookiest place in the woods!
We have 3 ways you can help us out which you can choose from! See choices below, and choose the shift(s) that work best for you.
1. (all spots filled) Set up the week before the trail opens (Sept. 26, 27, 28, Tues./Weds./Thurs. 3-6pm.)
Help us set up the stations on the haunted trail. Could include carrying boxes, putting up tents, assembling scenes the week before.
2. (all spots filled) Magic Pumpkin Patch Nights (Friday Nights Sept. 27, Oct. 4, 11, 18 and 25)
Set up and monitor the magic pumpkin patch, greet campers, help kids decorate and plant their seed marker, "make it magic", and then at end of night move pumpkins from inside out to the magic pumpkin patch.
3. Haunted Trail Volunteers (Saturday Nights Sept. 28, Oct. 5, 12, 19, 26)
Wear your costume and stand at assigned locations and follow a script. Jump scare along the Haunted Trail! Other volunteers will help out behind the scenes (running music, fog machines, etc). Haunted trail volunteers have more requirements:
- Bring a flashlight
- Wear scary costumes/masks - it doesn't have to be elaborate, you can be a zombie in old clothes with the right make-up!
- Dress for the weather, especially the cooler temps in the evening.
- Wear shoes that can get dirty!
An email with all of these details and more will be sent to applicants before their shifts.
If you apply here, you will be sent a link to TO PICK YOUR VOLUNTEER ACTIVITY AND DATE(S)!
SSL Approved
Children that are 12 or 13 can volunteer, but must be accompanied by an adult at all times. Please fill out an application for the adult attending with the child, as well as the child so we can track SSL hours separately.
p.s. PLEASE, do not sign up for this volunteer opportunity if you are not sure you can commit to helping out on that date. We limit the amount of volunteers that can sign-up, and if you sign up for a slot and then don't show up, it leaves us short-handed. Thank you!
