This means that we need more volunteers to show the love of Christ to our families. That’s where you come in! \nTo volunteer\, you do not need to have any prior professional experience or a specialized background working with disabilities. Each camper will have a caregiver or parent stay with them throughout the weekend. As a volunteer buddy\, your main role is to build friendships\, offer encouragement\, and join your camper in the fun! Volunteers help accompany campers to activities like worship\, Bible study\, games\, arts and crafts\, and more throughout the day on Saturday. \nVolunteers are not responsible for medical care or overnight assistance. Campers and caregivers stay together in individual motel-style rooms\, while volunteers stay in separate lodging areas. Volunteers also never remain alone with campers and will participate in activities within group settings at all times. \nWhether this is your very first camp or you’ve joined us before\, we would absolutely love to have you be part of the Everyone Belongs Camp family! Every volunteer who says “yes” makes it possible for us to welcome and serve another family impacted by disability. Come help us create unforgettable memories\, build meaningful friendships\, and share the life-changing love of Christ with families who need to know they belong. \n**Volunteers must complete a background check and interview process.
