Volunteer

CCFA Camp Oasis utilizes a mostly volunteer staff of adults living with IBD, who play a critical role in ensuring the safety and well-being of our campers.

Volunteer counselor positions include bunk counselors, activity specialists, and junior counselors (only available at some sites). 

Camps are also always looking for volunteer physicians, nurses, and mental health specialists, who specialize in pediatrics and/or gastroenterology.

In addition to meeting the requirements outlined in the job descriptions, all volunteers must:

• Be at least 19-yrs-old (or 18 for sites with Junior Counselors);
  
• Demonstrate empathy for the physical and psychosocial aspects of IBD;
  
• Be interviewed and selected by the Camp Director;
  
• Submit all of the required paperwork by the specified deadlines;
  
• Pass Criminal Background Check, Sex Offender Check, and Reference Checks;
  
• Attend entire Staff Orientation (dates vary by site; typically day before camp and one other weekend day prior to camp);
  
• Stay entire duration of camp (dates vary by site, see camp calendar);
  
• Abide by all of the rules and policies of CCFA and the host site.
