Cabin Big Buddies - This volunteer must be in attendance for the entire camp program and are responsible for the youth in their cabin, sharing supervision with other cabin leaders. They eat meals, attend grief and recreational activities with their cabin, and provide guidance. Cabin Big Buddies sleep in the same cabin with the youth campers.
Daytime Volunteers – These volunteers will be available during the daytime hours of a camp program to help with support, logistics, special volunteer roles, activities, etc and will go home at the end of the day. They may volunteer for 1 or more days depending on the program.
