Camp High Five is looking for volunteers! What is Camp High Five? Camp High Five is a camp experience for children affected by HIV/AIDS. During camp, children are able to participate in a range of recreational activities such as: canoeing, biking, seining, hiking, nature walks, and so much more! They get to meet up with old friends and make new ones. Camp is an opportunity for kids to just be kids at no cost to them or their families. Camp is a chance for kids to make special memories that will last a lifetime. These memories cannot be made without amazing volunteers and that’s where you come in! What do we look for in a volunteer? Someone who is at least 18 years old, patient, kind, responsible, attentive, works as part of a team, has a big heart, and loves to have fun with children.

- Increase social, interpersonal, and academic skills so that children are able to accomplish age-appropriate milestones, compete with their peers, and perform normal tasks of living
- Improve children's perceptions of their future prospects and overall life possibilities
- Create opportunities that will increase children's ability to function effectively, despite being infected with or affected by HIV/AIDS, and become contributing members of society.
