Thank you for your interest in becoming a Camp To Belong OC (CTBOC) volunteer camp counselor. We are looking forward to our third camp in July 2011, which is being held at the Irvine Regional Park in Orange, CA. On July 25 we will welcome our second group of brothers and sisters from around Orange County who have been separated in the foster care system or other out-of-home care. This camp week is an opportunity for siblings to spend time together in a relaxed, yet exciting, environment where a special mix of activities and programs will be put together to make their week at camp memorable for the sibling connections that are enhanced.
It will be the responsibility of the volunteer camp counselors to provide a safe, nurturing, and fun setting for these siblings to connect with one another and with other campers who are in similar situations and to safely enjoy their week at camp. We look for camp counselors who
- are responsible & respectful,
- are energetic & like to have fun
- are team players and can take initiative
- are willing to jump in the trenches,
- are willing to be totally unselfish,
- feel exhilaration,
- yearn to learn and understand the needs of the resilient kids who will be campers
- and who also understand and value the sibling relationship
