Fall Weekend Volunteer Program

  PRINT THE FALL WEEKEND VOLUNTEER APPLICATION
We will begin accepting applications for new volunteers on
June 1, 2010.

There are a few volunteer openings in our Fall Weekend Program for first-time volunteers. As in our Summer Program, there is an application and a phone interview. All hires are contingent on positive references, a criminal background check, and the completion of comprehensive Medical History/Physical Forms. Application deadline is July 1st.

Family Weekends

The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp offers weekends in the fall inviting campers to bring their entire family to Camp. Volunteers serve as Family Pals who accompany their family through all of the Camp activities. Family Pals are assigned to one or two families and are their hosts, tour guides, friends, and extra set of hands! A Family Pal is like another member of the family, participating in the programs and activities, and facilitating some much needed family time. Family Pals also coordinate with the parents to give them some time off by supervising the campers on their own. This position requires a two and a half day commitment from approximately Friday at 4 p.m. until Sunday at 2:00 p.m. 
 

Camper Weekends

This weekend burst of Camp is really wonderful, and the kids especially enjoy seeing all the staff and volunteers from the Summer. Camper Weekends are Camp on a smaller and more relaxed scale. We have a maximum of 48 campers, and we will all stay in LuLu’s Lodge. We do tons of Arts and Crafts, fun stuff in Sports and Rec, and lots of hanging out by the fire in the Dining Hall. Volunteers function as counselors and program staff. This position requires a two and a half day commitment from approximately Friday at 4:00 p.m. until Sunday at 2:00.p.m.
