Homegrown & Committed: Most of our staff grew up at PAL Camp — many started as campers back in 1984. Today, they return year after year as volunteers, taking time away from work and family to be part of this unforgettable week. Some travel from as far as Florida, Texas, California, and beyond to be here.
​
Professionals from All Walks of Life: Our team includes teachers, nurses, school administrators, scientists, creatives, public servants, and more — even moms, dads, and grandparents! They bring real-world experience, heart, and a deep care for kids.

Always Learning: We’re also proud of our student volunteers from colleges across the country — from Michigan State and University of Michigan to Florida Gulf Coast and St. Louis University. We even have a leadership pathway for Armada High School students to get involved and grow.
