Make a difference this summer by volunteering at MDA Summer Camp!
What is MDA Summer Camp?
MDA Summer Camp is a magical place of complete inclusion, empowerment, exploration, and growth. For kids and young adults with neuromuscular disease, the magic is in the experience of trying something new, developing friendships that last a lifetime, learning to self-advocate, and harnessing potential. MDA Summer Camp is a fundamental experience that fosters independence, confidence and well-being for campers and volunteers alike.
Why Should You Volunteer?
MDA Summer Camp volunteers say that it is the experience of a lifetime and will enrich your life and motivate you in ways you never dreamed. And it wouldn’t be possible without people like you.
As a volunteer, you will collaborate with your peers to take on the role of 24-hour caregiver, friend, and encourager as you participate in the traditional camp experience alongside the campers, with adaptive activities, sports, games, crafts, dances, mealtimes and so much more.
Join the hundreds of volunteers who will dedicate a single week to facilitating some camp magic for hundreds of campers in our community.
