Camp High Five is looking for volunteers! What is Camp High Five? Camp High Five is a camp experience for children affected by HIV/AIDS. During camp, children are able to participate in a range of recreational activities such as: canoeing, biking, seining, hiking, nature walks, and so much more! They get to meet up with old friends and make new ones. Camp is an opportunity for kids to just be kids at no cost to them or their families. Camp is a chance for kids to make special memories that will last a lifetime. These memories cannot be made without amazing volunteers and that’s where you come in!

These children need a support system that is sensitive to, proactive and creative in meeting their specific needs. Get involved with the Super HEROes Mentoring Program today!
