December 2011 (December 22-26, 2011)
Christmas Camp for Adults with Disabilities

We are currently seeking volunteers for our Christmas Camp. We ask that volunteers commit to the full duration of the training and camp, arriving at camp on December 22 at 4pm for training and staying through until December 26 at 11am once campers have departed. However, we realize that not everyone can commit to the full time, so special arrangements can be made.

Volunteer benefits include room and board for the duration of the camp. Additionally, the camp provides a festive atmosphere and a great group of people to spend the holidays with.

If you have any special skills, like baking, music or arts & crafts, please let us know if you’d like to share these with our campers. We have lots of camper sessions that can be filled with creative activity ideas.

All volunteers are required to complete a volunteer application form and provide a current police record check and intervention record check (formerly child welfare check). All volunteers will receive a camp orientation as well as volunteer training.

This unique Christmas camp is made possible because of the over 60 volunteers who dedicate their holidays to making a difference and experiencing the true meaning of Christmas. Each year, entire families as well as individuals spend their holidays creating a magical Christmas for the 55 campers who all call Camp home over the holidays.

For more information please contact our Coordinator, Camp Programs, Julie at 403–949–3818 Ext. 28 or by D%2Cl%60hm
