Volunteering Opportunities

Theme camps are the beating heart of Kiwiburn. This role supports the humans who bring those spaces to life — guiding camp leads, smoothing logistics, and helping an eclectic mix of camps land on the paddock each year. This person will be shadowing the existing TC facilitator until post 26 burn for training & handover ready to rock the 2027 burn!

You’ll represent the department at ExCom, keep communication flowing, mentor your team leads, and help shape how theme camps evolve at Kiwiburn. If you’re passionate about community-driven creativity and know what it takes to run a great camp, this is a front-row seat to making the magic happen.
