US IN THE SON DAY CAMP VOLUNTEER FACT SHEET

If you are entering 8th grade-12th grade and love to work with children, then you are encouraged to be a Volunteer for Us In The Son Day Camp. Volunteers are an integral part of our camp program; we rely on them heavily to assist counselors and children. 

If you have never volunteered at Us In The Son, or if you have never attended one of our previous Leadership Camps, then you must attend our weekend Leadership Camp to volunteer this summer. Please see our Leadership Camp information sheet for details. 

The Volunteer's day begins promptly at 7:45am and concludes at 4:15 pm. Volunteers must attend all five days for the entire scheduled week and for the entire scheduled times. If there is a conflict, please volunteer for a different session in which the entire week can be committed. 

All volunteers and staff attend 8:00am mass each morning.  Pants, or appropriate length (to the knees) shorts and skirts, are acceptable for mass. 

The staff provides a program for all volunteers before camp.  This is not optional! This program is specially designed to develop your leadership skills as a volunteer. On Thursday we have an optional Volunteer party to spend time with the counselors and prepare gifts for the campers. 

Volunteers need to bring sack lunches each day with their names on them. Punch will be provided by camp, but you are welcome to bring your own drink. 

Volunteers will be given one camp T-shirt at Leadership Camp, which must be worn throughout the week. Additional shirts can be purchased for $7.00 each.

 If you have any further questions please contact us through the parish office or in the summer please call (714) 970-2521.

WE HOPE TO SEE YOU AT CAMP!!!
