Camp Happy Times counselors are all volunteers. Applicants for CHT positions are carefully screened each year prior to acceptance for that year’s camp session. Although we value the intentions of each applicant, positions are filled with the best candidates based on the needs of the camp and individual strengths and expertise.
Mission
Camp Happy Times promotes friendship, independence and a spirit of cooperation for pediatric cancer patients and survivors aged 5-21. Our philosophy is to provide a recreationally therapeutic environment that engages participants while building self-esteem, confidence, trust and friendship.
Volunteers
The role of the counselor is complex and demands emotional and physical stamina for a rigorously scheduled week. Counselors encourage the campers to take on the challenges of various daily activities at camp while ensuring their safety and comfort. A fully staffed infirmary addresses any medical issues or concerns during the week of camp.
Qualifications
Monday, August 18th (by 10am) – Sunday, August 24th, 2014 (until 1pm)
