our 2026 volunteers were next level
We’ll update this page soon, with details for 2027 and how you can apply.
For now, check out the below to see a taster of how last year went!
WHAT IT MEANS TO VOLUNTEER AT CAMP VC
You’ll be joining a community who believes in freedom, kindness, excellence, and protecting each other. You’ll meet new friends, cheer each other on, learn new skills, and help create a world of adventure where people feel their safest and most free.
From the moment attendees roll into the Welsh hills to the second they head home glowing and dusty, you’ll possibly be one of the legends who makes the magic happen.
What volunteers say:
“I came alone and left with a whole new family.”
“The best thing I’ve ever done for myself.”
“I’d volunteer again in a heartbeat.”
VOLUNTEER ROLES
There’s a role for every vibe and every skill set. You don’t need experience - just enthusiasm, kindness, and the willingness to get stuck in.
Here are some of the areas you might help with:
Gate & check-in team - welcoming attendees, checking tickets, setting the tone
Marshalling & way-finding - helping people find their way across site
Workshop & activity support - assisting instructors and helping sessions run smoothly
Site help - including monitoring showers and loos and keeping us litter free
Community support crew - offering help, info, and encouragement around camp
Bar Crew - serving drinks, keeping the party vibes going
General support - pitching in where needed to keep the weekend rolling
Full role descriptions come later…
WHAT YOU GET AS A VOLUNTEER
Your time and energy mean everything to us — and we make sure you’re looked after.
Here’s what you’ll get when you become a Camp VC 2026 Volunteer:
NEW FOR 2026:
Thursday Crew-only activities - Before the gates open on Friday, Volunteers and Crew will get exclusive access to a handful of Camp VC’s most popular activities during downtime on Thursday afternoon.
A Volunteer / Crew base to chill and meet others helping to make the festival happen. This will also be where you can grab some food/drink.
Thursday Volunteers’ Welcome Food - Once Thursday’s set-up duties are wrapped, dinner will be provided.

ALSO THIS:
We encourage you to enjoy the festival around your shifts (Fri–Sun) - On top of Thursday’s exclusive access to activities, during the festival itself, Volunteers will be able to enjoy, at a minumum:
One pre-booked included activity of choice*
One paid for activity of choice, and
All walk-up activities, plus any pre-book activities with space on the day.
You’ll also receive the following:
Free camping - pitch up, settle in, and make the hills your home for the weekend.
Free meals on the days you work - fuel to keep you energised and feeling good. We’ll provide a combination of help yourself “grab and go” breakfast/lunches and cooked meals in the evening.
Training & new skills - from bar basics to event operations - we’ll show you what you need to know.
See how the magic happens - get behind-the-scenes experience of what it takes to pull off a major event.
Community & connection - Join a powerhouse Crew of women and NBi people who’ve got your back, and the potential of making life long mates.
Being part of the whole journey - from Thursday’s set up, to Sunday’s finale (or Monday morning pack-down if you can stay on).

FAQ’s
-
Camp VC volunteers must be women or non-binary people aged 18 or over. We welcome all races and ethnicities, sexualities and abilities - if you’re excited to be here, we want you here.
-
Nope! We welcome first-timers. You’ll get training, support, and everything you need to feel confident. But if you do have previous experience that you feel is relevant or any qualifications, please let us know in your application form.
-
Absolutely. We can’t guarantee identical shift patterns, but let us know in your application and we’ll do our best.
-
A mix of fun, teamwork, connection, and hands-on helping. Expect some early mornings or late nights, lots of smiles, and being part of a wildly supportive crew.
-
Your shift rota will be sent to you by mid-end May so you’ll know exactly when and where you’re helping across the weekend. Volunteers are expected to work a minimum of 3 x up to 8 hour shifts.
-
We want volunteering to be accessible to as many people as possible. If your application is successful, let’s have a chat and we’ll work with you to make sure you feel comfortable and confident in your role.
-
Volunteers are responsible for arranging and covering their own travel to and from the festival. Travel costs are non-refundable, so please make sure you’re able to get to site by Thursday afternoon (see timings below in “When do I need to be on site”). We’ll share travel tips and recommended routes with all confirmed volunteers. Before the event, we’ll host virtual meet-ups so you can get to know the crew early — and potentially buddy up for travel if you’d like.
-
All volunteers must be able to arrive on site on Thursday 23rd July by 3pm for induction, training, and team onboarding (as well as exclusive access to activities and our welcome meal). This helps us get everyone together and ready before the weekend kicks off.
Volunteer departures on Sunday 27th July take place between 3-7pm (depending on your circumstances and travel) to help close the event safely.
If you’re able to stay until midday Monday 28th July, even better — it really helps us with pack-down. No pressure - we know this isn’t possible for everyone.
Let us know your availability in the application form.
