Holiday time can be painful for children and teens after the loss of a loved one.

Almost everyone, when they are grieving, has one or more tasks or traditions that prove to be too difficult to handle or bear during this “festive” time.

Holidays, anniversaries, birthdays, and events that would otherwise be joyful can be especially hard on people who are grieving.

Day Support volunteers assist with camp activities for partial shifts on Friday, Saturday, and/or Sunday. Duties may include: providing breaks for Cabin Buddies, assisting with setting up / cleaning up after activities, and helping to ensure the flow of the weekend.
A flexible and proactive attitude is a must for these roles. Please be ready to jump in help where needed.
The beginning and the end of camp are crucial for campers and families. These volunteers work on Friday and/or Sunday for 2-3 hours to greet campers and families, assist with registration, help unload/load supplies, and set-up for the weekend.
Our welcoming and closing time helps the camp experience to flow and promotes a better experience for everyone. Your willingness to be present, welcoming, and proactive can make all the difference.
