ROLE AT CAMP

COUNSELORS will be paired with another counselor and assigned a group of two or more children or teens (depending on volunteer and camper numbers). New volunteers will be matched with a returning counselor who knows the ropes! Counselors stay with their assigned campers from Friday afternoon through Monday at noon. While kids sleep in the same rooms as their families and have breakfast with them each morning, counselors spend the rest of the day participating in activities, transitions, meals, and evening events with their group.

ROVERS are flexible support volunteers who help wherever needed—from assisting with activities to giving counselors a hand during transitions. While rovers don’t have an assigned camper group, they may occasionally help with our youngest children during adult support groups or evening socials (these little ones don’t have counselors, but we offer a daycare-style option during those times).

Whether this is your first Camp or your 26th, there’s always something new to learn and new people to connect with. This year, we’ll be holding **just one all-in-one training** session on Zoom. It will include:

• An overview of policies and procedures • Medical updates with a healthcare professional • Social and emotional insights for supporting individuals and families affected by HIV • A sneak peek at theme night activities • Tips for navigating our exciting **new venue**
