Clinical Volunteer:
(MD, RN, LPN, Nurse Practitioner) Providing both gentle and
experienced onsite care to our campers. We could not run our
program without our volunteer nurses and Doctors! Each session
we strive to have 10 volunteer nurses (1 per cabin) and one
on-site physician to provide medical care for our campers and
have fun with them in a camp environment. Thanks to our 2007
medical volunteers for keeping us all safe and well this season!

Program
Volunteer:
Facilitating the “success” of the children participating in various

Creative Arts (Music & Drama). Programs only operate on scheduled
days during the summer and can use help from 8.30am - Noon and
2:30pm – 5:30pm.
Registration/Departure Day(s):
Every week during the summer we welcome children to camp and
then 6 days later bid them a heartfelt goodbye. On these days,
we need help to emit love to the children while keeping track of
attendance and belongings. We need the most help from 8:45am
until the bulk of campers have been accounted for (usually
around Noon)
