You must email a copy of your vaccine card to safety@oregoncountryfair.org. The email must include your name, and "Teen Crew, Lori Cunnington and Ruth Ames". Also include the name of your Fair parent or guardian. You will not be assigned a position unless you do this. Please send it in right after you send in this application. If you are unable to volunteer this year because of the vaccine requirement please check with us in 2023.

What Is Teen Crew?

The Oregon Country Fair Teen Crew is a program designed for teen family members of staff, volunteers, entertainers and booth representatives. To qualify you must have a close family relative or guardian that works, volunteers or entertains at the Fair and is willing to be responsible for you and have you in their camp. Teen Crew members must camp with their Fair parent or guardian!

Teen Crew members work as trainees on other Fair crews. We place teens in a variety of positions and crews around fair. Teen Crew members work a total of 12 hours, usually in three 4-hour shifts. Volunteering with Teen Crew is a responsibility that requires a commitment to work your assignment as others will be depending on you. If you don’t want to work four hours a day during fair then you should not apply for Teen Crew.

Teen Crew members will receive a T-shirt, a wristband (camping pass); and food vouchers for those working during the event. Teens working pre or post Fair will get Main Camp meal tickets instead of food vouchers.

What's Next After Teen Crew

If you are 17, 18 or 19: Teens that graduate from Teen Crew are often hired on as adult volunteers by other crews. Make connections with your crew and shift leaders and let them know if you are interested in being considered for a placement on their crew.

Has anything important (such as your name) changed since the last time that you applied for teen crew? Is there anything else that we should know about you?

Pre-Fair shifts:

Every year we need a number of Teens to work before the Fair, usually on weekends late May through July. This work is usually on construction crew, staff kitchen, gardening, or other general set-up jobs. These jobs allow you an opportunity to meet your work requirements before the Fair, so you don't work during the Fair. You do not get food vouchers if you work a pre-Fair shift as you will be fed in the Main Camp Kitchen.

Check here if you're interested in a pre-Fair position:

Are you currently under supervision by any Court as a result of the commission of any sex offense or violent crime? Yes No

Fair Parent and Guardian Information

Your legal parent is one of your actual parents unless a court has determined otherwise. If that's the case, your guardian is whoever the court says is responsible for you.

If someone other than your legal parent or guardian is taking responsibility for you at Fair time then they're your fair parent, for example, if your uncle is attending the Fair and taking responsibility for you. If that's the case un-check the box below and fill in information on your fair parent.
