Camp Side-by-Side
Registration for Camp 2012 is open! Volunteers attend Camp August 4–10, 2012 and must commit to the entire week.
Camp Side-by-Side is a classic summer experience designed for families who have a child with cancer. Volunteers come in droves to build friendships, community and FUN: exactly what makes Camp Side-by-Side so memorable.
Essential characteristics for volunteers at Camp Side-by-Side:
- Unflagging enthusiasm and energy
- Patience and stamina for whatever the day holds
- Flexibility and willingness to serve in a variety of capacities
- Mobility and strength for the physical and interactive parts of camp life.
Last year, one volunteer said, "I saw God's love clearly working at Camp Side-by-Side in the relationships at camp—from Tully's Cart conversations to joyful rocket launching to stewards serving at the parent dinner. The best way to describe Camp is, 'The church has left the building!' Camp Side-by-Side is a service miracle!"
