Volunteers
Family Camp volunteers are the fuel in a fun-filled weekend for the whole family. Throughout the weekend, they create opportunities for caregivers and campers to laugh, be silly, and create space for their grief journeys as individuals and as a family unit.
As a volunteer, you will:
- Be the key contact for one family while at camp. As the family contact, volunteers will ensure families understand their activity schedules, and provide support as needed. Depending on family size, a volunteer may be assigned two families.
- Lead various activities, from instructionals to evening activities.
- Provide support as needed to the Camp Director, helping the camp operate safely, efficiently, and with maximum levels of fun and connection.
Grief Specialists
Grief Specialists at Family Camp are masters-level mental-health professionals who facilitate connection and the development of coping skills.
In a Grief Specialist role, you will:
- Lead clinical activities and sharing circles at camp for both caregivers and campers.
- Support behavioral and emotional needs of caregivers and campers as needed throughout the weekend.
- Provide support as needed to the Camp Director.
Photographers
Photographers play an important role in capturing the magic of camp. These photos help capture memories that families can look at year-round and share the story of camp with our larger community.
As a photographer, you will:
- Take photos of caregivers, campers, and volunteers throughout the weekend.
- Work with the camp leadership to upload photos to our online system.
