Haunted Woods Volunteers Needed!
Charlotte’s Quest’s biggest fundraiser of the year is creeping closer! Haunted Trails returns Friday, October 17, and Saturday, October 18—and we need YOUR help to bring it to life (or… un-life)!
We’re looking for enthusiastic tweens, teens, and adults to help with every aspect of the event—from spooky actors to friendly guides and behind-the-scenes support. Whether you're into scaring, crafting, or just lending a hand, there’s a role for everyone.
Join us and be part of the magic (and mayhem)!
Volunteering is a fun way to support Charlotte’s Quest and get into the Halloween spirit.
Ready to haunt the trails?
Adults, 18+, complete the Adult Volunteer Sign Up now!
