Volunteers change lives. Our volunteers lead by example, value and support each other, cheer for each other’s successes and join forces as innovators and leaders. They help kids and families discover their own powers, conquer fears and leave camp feeling more confident than ever.
Powerful for you, too. Every volunteer helps create life-changing moments for campers and their families. And while they give so much, our volunteers tell us they receive just as much in return – from making lifelong friends to carrying home memories that inspire them for years to come.

WHO KNEW I HAD THE POWER?
