Looking for something fun to do this summer while gaining experience working with a healthcare team and giving your time to a meaningful cause? If yes, then consider applying to be a volunteer at Camp Promise!
Camp Promise is an overnight camp
with five locations throughout the country, provided free of charge for kids, teens, and adults with muscular
dystrophy and select neuromuscular diseases. Volunteers help kids experience the magic of camp, regardless of their medical needs or physical abilities.
Available Positions for undergraduates include:
- One-on-one counselors to provide personal care and assist with daily activities.
- Program staff (photographers, camp newspaper, computers, science, sports, drama, music, etc.)
This is an ideal opportunity for individuals who
are dedicated to giving back to their community and who are interested in a
career in the healthcare field and are looking for experience working
one-on-one with individuals with special healthcare needs. Many (but not ALL!) volunteers are pre-health students (e.g., medicine, nursing, physician
assistants, PT/OT) or interested in social work or counseling.
While helpful, experience is not required as all necessary training is provided at orientation prior to camper
arrival. Volunteers are 18+, come from diverse
backgrounds and from all over the country, so whatever your skills may be, if
you are committed to making camp the best week of the campers’ year, Camp Promise would love
to hear from you!
