Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at admin@hauntednw.org if you cannot find an answer to your question.

We welcome individuals and groups to start in our organization between February and September!  In October, our focus shifts to producing the show. Please contact us between February and September if you are interested in volunteering individually or with a group.


Volunteers are primarily needed to act in sets and SCARE the public!  There are many other positions needed as well – including security, safety, make up, sales, and cleanup.  All of our volunteers work to design, build, and put away the show for next year.


Each volunteer is encouraged to name a charity of their choice – and many support their own activities in charitable organizations.  Contributions are based on the profitability of the show and overall volunteer hours. Haunted Forest of Maple Valley offers a variety of programs, including after-school programs, summer camps, and mentoring programs.


Funds are received by the organization that volunteers choose and our Board works with those organizations to ensure that they are received.


We complete background checks and safety training for all volunteers. We also have on site care staff and law enforcement.  We have designated security throughout the show and grounds to monitor patrons and ensure the safety of the actors.


We ask that organizations provide a point of contact, mailing address, non-profit data, and a coordinator for groups of volunteers.  We also ask that youth organizations have adults working directly with their youth during times of service.


We ask that volunteers and actors arrive 1-2 hours before show time to either get in costume and make up or assist with opening.  Designated parking is provided for volunteers.  We provide a meal in the cast tent for volunteers and have additional food service on site.  Actors will be in sets with support from the Director and staff, and will be escorted to and from for any needs including bathroom breaks by designated staff runners.  Security officers are stationed throughout the show and can assist actors as well.


February through September

  • Register your group by completing the Volunteer and/or Group Information form and provide an email for contact.  
  • Once you complete your Volunteer Form, join our group: Haunted Forest of Maple Valley Volunteer Page
  • Attend a Ghoul School Orientation to get in-person information. We review safety, parking, when to arrive and all the great ins and outs of how our Scream Team of volunteers get the show done each night. Volunteer Registration and Ghoul School/Orientation are both a yearly requirement.
  • Our last Ghoul School/Orientation is in September.  In October, our focus shifts to producing the show. Please contact us between February and September if you are interested in volunteering individually or with a group.
