MDA Summer Camp provides an incredibly unique experience for both the campers and the volunteers who serve as counselors. The week-long residential programs give kids ages 8-17 the freedom to be kids with others who are just like them- at no cost to their families. Volunteer Counselors are by Campers' sides day and night so that they can do all the fun activities that summer camp offers.
In addition to bringing joy to Campers, this fantastic opportunity allows Volunteers to gain high-quality, field-based experience in physical therapy, occupational therapy, medical professions, education, recreation, and family social sciences, as well as earning them extensive volunteer hours. MDA Summer Camp locations are available across the nation. Check out this short VIDEO or MDA.org to learn about Summer Camp's impact on MDA families and Volunteers.
I've attached our flyer that can easily be shared with your students as well as other staff and departments. While interested Volunteers are welcome to apply to any MDA Summer Camp session across the nation, the session in Indiana is:
MDA Summer Camp at Bradford Woods
Martinsville, IN
June 29-July 5, 2024
I am also available to join a meeting or schedule a brief Virtual Presentation to share more details about Summer Camp and answer any questions.
Thank you in advance for your time and for sharing this exciting opportunity with your students and colleagues. I look forward to keeping in touch!
Happy Camping,
