We are looking for some great volunteers, who believe service to humanity is the greatest work of life.
Camp Dream is a recreational, traditional summer camp experience for children and young adults with moderate to severe physical and developmental disabilities, in Warm Springs GA. Camp Dream was founded in 1975 by the Georgia Jaycees (Today known as Junior Chamber International founded in 1915), offering a unique 1:1 (camper:counselor) ratio driven 100% by passionate volunteers.
Counselors are the back bone of each session. They are a coach, cheerleader, and friend to their camper, delivering a magical experience like non other. Register today at www.campdreamga.org/counselors.
In addition to counselors, select medical professionals and lifeguards are needed. Medical professionals task's range from distribution of simple over-the-counter pain medications, to dealing with feeding tubes or seizures. Lifeguards are needed to help watch over campers and counselors while they participate in many water activities, including: boating, canoeing, paddle boats in the lake and swimming in in/ outdoor pools.Applicants are asked to kindly send their resume/ relevant certifications to our Program Director at programdirector@campdreamga.org for consideration.

Description
Camp Dream is a recreational, traditional summer camp experience for children and young adults with moderate to severe physical and developmental disabilities. Camp Dream is 100% volunteer, offering a one-to-one camper-counselor ratio. Camp Dream is a barrier free environment that has never turned away a camper due to the severity of their disability or their financial capability.
What really sets Camp Dream apart is its volunteers. From the Program Director to the Junior Counselor, Camp Dream volunteers are passionate about Camp Dream. Volunteers come from near and far to ensure that these special campers are able to fulfill their dreams each summer and during campout sessions throughout the year.
Because we believe that all disabled children, regardless of their financial situation, have a right to recreational and social experiences that enhance self-worth and value, we rely on the generosity of donors and sponsors to allow those campers who are unable to pay the ability to attend Camp Dream.
