Weekend Adventures are exciting weekends away at camp for kids (ages 6 to 17) with intellectual disabilities. As a volunteer, you will be a kid’s assigned "buddy" for a weekend of fun and engaging activities! There are always staff around who are trained to handle any medical or behavioral changes, so you and your team can simply focus on having fun with your campers as they enjoy activities such as hiking, rope swings, hayrides, s’mores, campfires, and so much more! You will be at camp from Friday-Sunday sleeping in a separate volunteer cabin. And while you and your buddy are having an awesome weekend, their families are given critical time to rest and recharge. This is truly a gift you are giving to the parents and will empower them in their lives and relationships. We welcome groups or individuals, ages 16 and older and provide all the training you’ll need! Our staff are with you every step of the way, so no special needs experience is required. All you need is a heart to serve these wonderful kids and show the love of Christ! Put simply-we focus on the details so that you can focus on the campers!

Jill's House Weekend Adventures is an exciting weekend away at camp for kids (ages 6-17) with intellectual disabilities. As a volunteer, you are assigned a "buddy" for an entire weekend of fun activities! These activities are specifically tailored and adapted to fit the needs of our campers such as ropes courses, hayrides, pet therapy, hiking, and of course, s'mores! Trained staff are present to care for the medical, behavioral, and daily living needs of your buddy. This allows you and your team to focus on engaging and having fun with the campers! All while you are creating wonderful memories with your buddy, their families are given one of the greatest gifts, rest. A weekend where they get to wake up at 7 am, or spend time with their other children, maybe even go on a date night with their spouse. By volunteering your time, you are giving the gift of time and rest to parents in need. We gladly welcome groups or individuals, ages 16 and older, training is provided. So whether you have tons of experience or have never had the joy of working with someone with a disability, you are welcome! Our staff is there alongside you throughout the entire weekend. All you need is the willingness to serve and show Christ's love to these wonderful children of God!
