ORGANIZATION: Camp Opportunity of Santa Cruz County

  • 1 person is interested



Camp Opportunity provides a free summer camp experience for children at risk of abuse or neglect. Our goal is to serve up to 55 children each summer and to accomplish that goal we need your help. There are several volunteer positions that are needed each summer, primarily counselor positions, and while each is different in their specific role, we all work together as one cohesive team to achieve the goals of our program. Our volunteer staff range in ages from 15 to 80+ and come from a wide range of backgrounds.

We have two one week sessions during the summer (one for ages 8-10 and one for ages 11-13). Are you ready to volunteer?

The dates of our summer sessions can be found on our website at campopp.org/events and is on the application as well.

To start the application process, you will need to complete the Camp Opportunity Volunteer Application. Next steps are included in the link.

We hold our camp at a location in the Happy Valley area of Santa Cruz.

Mission Statement

Camp Opportunity serves children at risk of abuse or neglect in Santa Cruz County. The mission of Camp Opportunity is to improve the health, safety and well-being of our campers and staff, by providing them with opportunities to build healthy relationships and increase their self-esteem in a safe, trauma-informed, stress-free environment.

Description

Our primary volunteer needs are for our summer program. We need 25-35 camp counselors for each of our two one-week sessions to be matched one on one with our campers. We also sometimes have needs throughout the year to help with fundraising and some administrative activities. Our main need, however, is staffing for our summer program.
