Help us celebrate Volunteer Matt for 50 SESSIONS of volunteering! At Family Camp this fall, Matt accomplished something truly incredible – 50 sessions of volunteering at Roundup River Ranch over 11 years. Matt truly embodies the definition of Superhero Volunteer.
He enjoys retirement through golfing, fly fishing, and volunteerism. In addition to volunteering at Roundup River Ranch, he volunteers at the PICU at Children’s Hospital Colorado, which is where he originally heard about camp. Since 2014, Matt has been volunteering at as many Summer Camps, Family Camps, and Camper Reunions as he can. 
“All it takes is one week – not even a week. Just coming up here once. It’s so beautiful up here. Seeing how it’s grown over the years, and coming back every year to see how the kids have grown up. Because they’re survivor kids. A lot of survivor kids. Just spending time with kids up here, letting them be kids.”
One of Matt’s highlights from this summer was during session 2. There were a couple campers in the Osprey Cabin who Matt remembers volunteering at camp when they
were just 7. It was special for him to see them as leaders in the oldest cabins! 
“That’s one of the joys of camp is you see kids grow up, because not all of them do. They have to grow up too fast when you have a transplanted heart or you have a kidney that’s bad. That’s what it gives you. Life perspective – that’s camp.”
Help us thank Matt for his commitment to making camp the magical, life-changing place that it is for so many campers.
