We are still in need of volunteers to serve at our camps as camp counselors, lifeguards, nurses, social media, arts & crafts, kitchen and office personnel. Volunteers are an integral part of creating a camp experience where each child is uplifted and celebrated for who they truly are. Think you might want to join us this summer? We're looking for a minimum commitment of three weeks with the opportunity to serve for the full summer available. For medical personnel, we only require a one week minimum commitment. Room and board is provided to all volunteers at no cost. For volunteers who serve the full summer, some reimbursement of travel costs is available.  To join us this summer apply here or contact the Volunteer program at 800-755-5322 to request a paper application.
