Thank you for your interest in being a Peer-as-Leader (PAL) at A Camp to Remember (ACTR) – Flathead Lake Youth Camp! 

About Camp/PAL program: 2026 ACTR Youth camp will take place August 6-9 (Thursday late afternoon through Sunday morning) on the shores of Flathead Lake, MT.  ALL teens must apply and will be screened before being accepted as a PAL. Space is limited and a spot as a PAL is not guaranteed. 

Prerequisites: 

Applicants must meet all prerequisites included in the Application.  

• Completed at least one year of high school 

• Received personal support (Grief Camp, Grief Support Group, Counseling) 

• The desire to be a role model for younger campers by assisting at Camp and participating in teen activities 

If this is your first time applying as a PAL please submit a letter of support from an adult reference (i.e. teacher, counselor, employer) commenting on your strengths and leadership skills to aubreyh@tamarackgrc.org. Return PALs do not need to submit a reference. 

Our team is committed to hosting a magnificent and meaningful A Camp to Remember that is a positive experience for all. Our biggest goal is to provide an emotionally and physically safe camp experience. Together we will determine if your teen is likely to benefit from camp. Your thoughtful, honest, and complete responses to the registration questions help us best support your teen. Campers of any age must be able to engage constructively with others in group settings and not require one-on-one supervision to do so throughout the days and nights. Loving volunteers join TGRC Staff to ensure a 3:1 Camper:Staff ratio throughout camp.

Please note:

1. Though trained in grief support and nature-based programming, many volunteers do not have training nor experience in significant behavior challenges.
2. Completion of this registration form does not guarantee acceptance to camp. Register early as space is limited!
