We are looking for energetic, caring, fun volunteers to help at our summer camp for students ages 5-21 with an intellectual or developmental disability. Volunteers are a crucial part of our camp and are responsible for assisting staff with ensuring our campers have the best summer ever! Volunteers participate in ALL activities that our campers participate in including swimming, water parks, sports and crazy creative activities such as whip cream slides and ice cream sundae softball. Volunteers can also apply to participate in our "Volunteer-To-Work" training program to receive extra training and be at the top of the list for a staff position once they become available. We like for volunteers to commit to a full week of volunteering to help provide stability for our campers. The times are Monday-Friday, 8:30am-4:30pm. We need your help!!!
