Love working with kids? Are you 16 years old or older?
Summer Day Camp at Ronald McDonald House Houston is a fun way for teens to teach, play, and support child patients and siblings living at the Ronald McDonald House! The care, fun, and enthusiasm shown by the teen camp counselors is a valuable gift to our families with a child receiving medical care at a nearby hospital.
Summer Camp is made up of 2 classes: one for preschool age children, one for children over 6 years old. We need teen camp counselors to assist adult teachers in each class. Summer Day Camp is held Monday - Friday, 12:30pm - 3:45pm at our Holcombe House location.
Volunteer for 1 week or more!

About Ronald McDonald House Houston
Location:
1907 Holcombe Boulevard, Houston, TX 77030, US
Mission Statement
Houston's Ronald McDonald House offers a home away from home providing care, compassion and hope to families with seriously ill children being treated in Texas Medical Center member institutions.
Description
Ronald McDonald House Houston opened its doors in 1981 to offer a home away from home to the families with seriously ill children being treated in Texas Medical Center member institutions. Houston's RMH operates several locations that offer home-like environments to these seriously ill children and their families:
- 70 bedroom House on Holcombe Boulevard
- 20 bedroom House inside Texas Children's Hospital
- 14 bedroom House inside Children's Memorial Hermann Hospital
- 10 Family Rooms at Texas Children's Hospital
- 4 Family Rooms at Children's Memorial Hermann Hospital
- 2 bedrooms and 1 Family Room at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center
Each of these facilities serves a different population. The Holcombe House is generally home to families from outside Houston while the in-hospital facilities primarily serve families from the greater Houston area. At RMH Houston, the families find comfort, encouragement and support from volunteers, staff and other families, who share similar experiences, during an unimaginably difficult time in their lives.
Ronald McDonald House Houston is able to provide these services because of the generous gifts of time and financial support provided by individuals, companies, and foundations throughout the Houston community.
