Special Summer Camp

Save to Favorites

Energetic volunteers of all ages needed to play alongside children with special needs & help Camp Director transition through activities during 4 weeks of Summer Camp!

Brooks Avenue Church of Christ has been a staple in the special needs community for 17+ years and we have another wonderful outreach event coming up and we need your help! Special Summer Camp will run for 4 weeks in the month of July and there are full time and part time volunteer opportunities. Special Summer Camp is a great way for you to earn volunteer hours, or just get to hang out with some of the coolest kids on the planet while their parents parents gratefully accept help with passing those sometimes long summer weeks!

Special Summer Camp will be held Mon-Fri from July 3rd-July 28th, 8am-4pm. Half day Camp will be 8am-noon. We are looking for energetic volunteers to: parallel play, provide true companionship, assist as needed while campers transition through games and activities and generally assist the Director through the days events. Since it takes time for Volunteers and Campers to establish relationships, volunteers are strongly encouraged to sign up for the same shift (FT or PT) for an entire week to be the most helpful. Signing up for multiple weeks is great! However if you are only able to sign up for various days, we can accommodate that as well.

Please use the following form to sign up and to choose what dates you are available to work:

Previous experience working with children with special needs is encouraged but not required. Volunteers must be at least 16 years old and complete a background check provided by the church at no cost to you. Please send an email to request a Background Check Form and allow 7-10 days for processing. Volunteer Orientation will be Monday, June 19th, 6-7pm.
