BECOME AN MDA CAMP VOLUNTEER

If you're 16 or older, you're invited to apply to become an MDA camp volunteer.

At most MDA camps, volunteer counselors work one-on-one with campers around the clock, providing the care, close supervision and attention children with neuromuscular diseases need.

Counselors push wheelchairs, lift and carry youngsters, and even "bunk down" near their campers so they can help them during the night. But above all, they become a youngster's friend for a week - and sometimes for a lifetime.

At MDA camp there's always a need for:

Volunteer counselors
Medical staff
Water safety instructors
Activity coordinators

Come see what you can contribute to the MDA Team. You're guaranteed to get back more than you give!
