Seeking Volunteers!

The Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) is in search of fun and enthusiastic volunteer summer camp counselors. The MDA’s 2007 summer camp will be held August 11-17, 2007 at Camp Care Free in Stokesdale, NC. 

Camp counselors must be at least 18 years old, and must be physically able to lift a young person between ages 6 and 21. Each counselor is assigned to serve as a companion for a camper who’s affected by a neuromuscular disease. Counselors help their campers with daily activities such as feeding, bathing, dressing, and in recreational activities such as arts, crafts, swimming and horseback riding.

Kids with progressive neuromuscular diseases look forward to MDA summer camp year-round.  Campers get to experience a world in which all indoor and outdoor activities are specially adapted to their abilities.  Many counselors come back to camp year after year.  MDA Summer Camp is an experience not to be missed.

To obtain a volunteer application or learn about other ways to support MDA’s summer camp program, please contact Autumn Kish @ 336-856-1591 or e-mail me at akish@mdausa.org
