Gardening/Horticulture Education Youth Programs - Arboretum Favorites - Summer Camp
**Attention**
Due to NJ State regulations on how summer camps are staffed/operated when working with minors, the MCPC will be adapting its policies on how Volunteers can assist with our summer camp programs at all sites. Volunteers will need to attend a mandatory training and submit to a background check (volunteers agree to this when acknowledging the Applicant Statement during the application process). Volunteers may request to assist with camps at this time, but will not be approved until training and background checks have been completed. Camp Volunteer Training to be posted at a later date.
