Are you ready for a life-changing experience? Annie's Hope needs many kind, patient, fun-loving volunteers willing to spend a week (or two) as cabin counselors at Camp Courage and/or Camp Erin - St. Louis, our 4 night, 5 day grief camps for kids ages 6-18. Two or three cabin counselors are assigned to a cabin of 8 - 9 kids who do lots of typical summer camp activities. Volunteers are trained on-site before campers arrive. All campers have recently experienced the death of a loved one. This is an incredibly rewarding volunteer opportunity.
Call 314-965-5015 or visit annieshope.org for more info. Fill out and submit the camp volunteer application on our website. THANK YOU!!!
