Special Olympics NJ - Twilight Camp Shriver

Save to Favorites

Special Olympics New Jersey is looking for energetic volunteers to assist with Camp Shriver this summer. Camp Shriver volunteers are active participants in the Camp experience, not supervisors. Volunteers are trained to participate alongside SONJ athletes for the duration of the Camp week. Being a volunteer is a not only a wonderful opportunity to make new friends while sharing a Camp experience with SONJ athletes, it is also a privilege and much more than "service hours." Before completing this application, we ask that you think about why you want to volunteer at Camp Shriver. If your only motivation is to fulfill your school service requirement, Camp Shriver may not be the right fit for you.

Camp Shriver spans five weeks and, each week, as many as 75 SONJ athletes participate. Volunteers are assigned to a group that rotates through different stations each day. The age and athletic ability level of each camper varies but they all look forward to Camp Shriver all year long. This is due, in large part, to volunteers’ commitment to making Camp Shriver inclusive, fun and engaging. We hope to see you there!

Dates: July 8 - August 2 - Volunteers can select one more weeks to volunteer.

Must be at least 16 years old.
