    Description

    Energetic Volunteers Wanted for Camp One Step!

    Camp One Step is looking for volunteers (both non-medical and medical) to support our camps for kids with cancer and their families. We are a volunteer-driven organization, and rely on our amazing volunteers to make our programs possible. In fact, more than 350 dedicated volunteers donate their time and energy, year-after-year, program-after-program!

    We are actively recruiting for counselors and medical staff for our 11 in-person camps. Non-medical volunteers serve as counselors for kids with cancer who come to camp to just be kids. The majority of our camps are overnight/residential camps, with the exception of our spring Day Camp. Each counselor is typically assigned 3-4 children to care for during the program. We also need assistance with our auxiliary teams, the folks that help behind the scenes to make our camps happen - setting up supplies, moving firewood, filling water jugs, etc. Our non-medical volunteers come from all walks of life, and while experience with kids is a plus, it's not a requirement! More important are passion, patience, and participation!

    We are also looking for Physicians, Nurses, and Advanced Practice Providers to volunteer for our medical staff.

    Strong relationships are built and friendships are created! We are looking for volunteers (at least 21 years of age) to help support our in-person camps. If you are interested, sign up today!
