Save to Favorites

The Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) is recruiting volunteer
counselors for its annual summer camp being held at "Channel 3 Kids Camp" in
Andover, CT July 27th through August 1, 2014. Camp counselors must be
at least 18 years of age and be committed to making this week an
amazing and unforgettable experience for youngsters, age 6 to 17
years, with neuromuscular disease. MDA camp counselors work one-on-one
with campers for the entire week, providing personal care and
supervision, as well as companionship at a wide range of recreational
and social activities. Training is provided on July 26th.

This unique opportunity involves completing over 150 volunteer hours
and is an excellent experience for men and women interested in the
health care field - including rehabilitative medicine, neurology,
nursing, physical and occupational therapy, and other medical
specialties. Camp also gives counselors an opportunity to truly impact
the lives of young people with neuromuscular diseases in a profound
and positive way. As many campers describe, camp is the one week each
year when they feel like a regular kid, 'the same as everyone else.’

To participate in this life-changing week, call the Muscular Dystrophy
Association Summer Camp Coordinator, Jane Young at 401-732-1910 or
communicate your interest via email, jmyoung@mdausa.org. Thanks, and
we’ll see you at camp!
