Volunteers generally arrive the day before the campers to
help set the camp up. Most volunteers then stay for the week
with the campers. Volunteers come in on a Saturday with the
campers coming into camp on Sunday. There are many ways that
you can volunteer at PA Vent Camp.
*Partner - partners are paired with a camper and help
to care for their needs, get involved with activities or
crafts, and generally buddy up with the
camper for the week. Partners do not necessarily need to
have a medical background, however, this is helpful for many
of our campers.
*Junior Partner - junior partners are high school
students who will also be paired with a camper for the week
and help the Partner to care for the
camper and make sure the camper is having fun.
*Junior Counselor - junior counselors are children ages
10-12 who help out where needed at camp. They help with
decorating, arts and crafts,
activities, clean-up, and wherever help is needed.
*Activities - the activities crew is the creative
aspect of camp. This group is in charge of all of the
activities for the week including arts and crafts, games, talent show, etc.
*Team Leaders - team leaders are nurses or respiratory
therapists who are in charge of making sure the campers have
all of their medical needs met including medication administration, feeds, respiratory
therapies, etc.
We also take nursing and respiratory therapy students.
This is a great opportunity to advance your clinical
knowledge.
