Fall Volunteer Opportunities at Double H Ranch

Fall Family Weekend Volunteer Opportunities

In the Spring and Fall, the Double H Ranch provides families with the opportunity to participate in camp-based programming for a weekend. In 2020, this programming will all be virtual to continue spreading the mission of Health and Happiness to children and families dealing with a life-threatening illness. Virtual Family Weekends are a fun-filled three days of program activities, seeing who can cheer their hearts out, and having silly or serious cabin chats. We engage volunteers to help bring the noise, light up the screen with their smiles, and welcome families online each day.

Program Volunteer Role:

The Program Volunteer Role will help make the weekend happen for our families. Responsibilities include helping to create or facilitate online activities, leading songs and cheers on our virtual platform, Jigsaw, and helping families have as much fun as possible.

Cindy’s Comfort Camp

5 / 5 stars

I just wanted to drop you all a quick note to say thanks for all that you did to make our recent camp (Cindy’s Comfort Camp) such a great success. This was the biggest and best group of Double H staff and volunteers that we had at any of our camps. All the Double H staff, Double H big Buddies, and Double H volunteers not only worked tirelessly to get to know the kids and deliver the program, they also made sure that our campers benefited from the uniquely special spirit of the Summer program. It made such a positive impact on the weekend and the kids. I hope that we are as fortunate in future camps to be able to benefit in this way. Our partnership is so meaningful to me, and it makes me happy and proud to see how it is blossoming. I hope too that we are able to give more volunteers to your other programs. I have some ideas about how to get more people involved.

Again, thanks so much. I look forward to seeing you all over the Winter, in the Spring, and in the Summer. I guess I’m like a bad penny now, I keep turning up!
