Volunteer Counselor with Campers who have Disabilities

Save to Favorites

Camp Sunrise at Camp Warwick offers a unique volunteer opportunity for anyone who has completed 9th grade and is at least 15+ years old. Camp Sunrise is a week-long camp experience for adults, 18-55 years old, who have disabilities. Since 1978, we have been inviting volunteers to participate in this program and volunteers help to make this program possible! Our volunteers work alongside our summer staff to build relationships, and care for, and support our campers each week. Our volunteers will tell you that this community is welcoming, warm, positive, accepting, and a great place to learn and grow.

Each day looks a little different but we go swimming, hiking, play recreational games, play bingo, do crafts, make tie dye, go to the beach, bowling, and the drive-in, participate in reflections (Christian Education), and so much more! Many of our campers have been attending camp for a long time and LOVE to show their new counselors everything that we do! Camp is an amazing place to find friendships, gain new skills, and see what the Holy Spirit is doing in and through you.

Volunteer Counselors are asked to help care for our campers. Our campers vary in the amount of support needed. Some are completely independent, others require prompting and support, and others need assistance with things like bathing, toileting, and personal care. All volunteers are trained to help our campers and will ease into camper support. Our volunteers engage most in relationship-building and support throughout each day.

Our summer program begins on June 30. We have week-long sessions, Sunday afternoon to Friday evening. This summer we will have 5 weeks of camp Lodging and food will be provided. We award service hours upon request!
