Question 1

What is a Family Companion?

Accepted Answer

Family Companions is a dedicated volunteer who supports families attending Family Camp. You'll help children take part in activities, create fun and memorable experiences and give caregivers space to connect with others. As a Family Companion, you'll help families get situated at camp, and at times throughout the week supervise groups of campers, to allow caregivers the space to connect with others.

Question 2

How is Family Camp different from previous children-only programs?

Accepted Answer

A Family Camp welcomes children and their caregivers to participate together. While the focus is still on fun, connection and camp magic, volunteers now support families and programs as a whole, helping keep everyone engaged.

Question 3

What does a Family Camp Week look like?

Accepted Answer

Family Camp is a week full of fun, connection, and camp magic for children and their caregivers. Each day is a mix of structured activities such as swimming, crafts, games, nature walks, and campfires, along with opportunities for families to relax and connect. Some activities involve everyone with all-camp games that bring together volunteers, campers, and caregivers. Other times, programs are designed just for kids or just for caregivers, and there is also free-choice time for families to pick what they enjoy most. Volunteers help children participate safely, support activities behind the scenes, and give caregivers space to connect with others, creating a week of memorable experiences for the whole family.

Question 4

Why are there fewer volunteer roles this year?

Accepted Answer

Family Camp is designed to welcome more families and participants, so we’ve adjusted the volunteer structure to match. Fewer roles mean each volunteer can focus on meaningful support, build stronger connections with children and caregivers, and have a bigger impact on the overall experience. This approach ensures families get the attention they need, while volunteers have a fulfilling and manageable role throughout the week.

Question 5

Do I still get to work with children directly?

Accepted Answer

Yes!! Volunteers will interact closely with campers, help them participate in activities and provide encouragement and guidance in a group setting.
