As a volunteer, you are assigned a "buddy" with an intellectual disability for an entire weekend of fun activities! These activities are specifically tailored and adapted to fit the needs of our campers such as the giant swing, bounce castle, archery, and of course, s'mores. Trained staff is present to care for the medical, behavioral, and daily living needs of your buddy. This allows you to focus on engaging and having fun with your camper!
While you are creating wonderful memories with your buddy, their families are given one of the greatest gifts, rest. This gift is hard to come by for many of our families, a weekend where they can sleep in and wake up at 7 am, or spend time with their other children, maybe even go on a date night with their spouse. By volunteering your time, you are giving the gift of time to parents in need.
TO OFFICIALLY APPLY, please email kelly.elwell@jillshouse.org.
