Looking for male volunteers for MDA Summer Camp!
Every year MDA offers a summer camp for local youngsters in the area, ages 8-17, affected by one of 43 neuromuscular diseases. MDA’s summer camp program began in 1955 to provide an opportunity for kids to enjoy a fun-filled camping experience -- much like that experienced by youngsters without disabilities.
We are committed to offering a top-quality program at no cost for each child. The Association takes great pride in its camp program and the positive influence it’s had on the lives of thousands of kids across the country. MDA Summer Camp is known as "The Best Week of the Year" for local kids who are not able to participate in any other summer camp. We could not exist without volunteer camp counselors.
When: August 4 - 10
Where: McCall, ID
Who: We are looking for people interested in making a difference in the life of a child with a neuromuscular disease!
What: Be a friend/mentor/assistant one-on-one with a kid for the week. Assist with fun activities such as games, crafts, swimming, fishing, scavenger hunts, campfires, talent shows and more! We train all of our volunteers to be successful and HAVE FUN!
Why: We'll let this video showcase why: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTV5xETEcqo

Mission Statement
MDA is leading the fight to free individuals -- and the families who love them -- from the harm of muscular dystrophy, ALS and related muscle-debilitating diseases that take away physical strength, independence and life. We use our collective strength to help kids and adults live longer and grow stronger by finding research breakthroughs across diseases, caring for individuals from day one and empowering families with services and support in hometowns across America.
Description
At MDA, we take a big-picture perspective across the full spectrum of neuromuscular diseases to uncover breakthroughs that accelerate treatments and cures. The power in our research approach is that we can often apply learnings from one disease to achieve progress in others to bring urgently needed answers to our families.
We know that early diagnosis, highly specialized care and access to promising clinical trials help ensure the best possible outcomes for individuals and families facing muscular dystrophy, ALS and related life-threatening diseases. That’s why MDA is here to provide care for kids and adults from day one. Our MDA Care Centers offer families best-in-class, comprehensive care from a wide variety of health care specialists at one location on the same day, while our trained information specialists and educational resources are available to offer guidance and support through every step of the journey.
MDA is here for our families in hometowns across America to empower the kids and adults we serve. From offering support groups and educational seminars that help caregivers, parents and individuals through their journey - to assisting families with durable medical equipment to maintain independence - to giving kids with muscular dystrophy the best week of the year at MDA Summer Camp, MDA is here to help families maintain and improve their health while actively pursuing education, passions, careers, dating, marriage and other goals associated with living independently.
