High School students may volunteer as Camp Counselors with Bridges this summer. Bridges will bring two to four campers to The Connection in Summit for a gymnastics day camp. Additionally, three to four full day trips will take campers to new surroundings. Volunteers counselors are needed for these one-day adventures as well. Not yet confirmed, but some of the day activities adventures under consideration are a day at NYC museum, and a picnic in Central Park, a trip to the Statue of Liberty or perhaps an amusement park.
High school volunteer counselors will be responsible for “buddying” with one to two children. Beyond that, we hope that the volunteers will continue the relationship they form with the Newark children through letters and visits. High school volunteers who would like to assist The Connection’s camp staff as camp counselors or be a counselor on a day trip, must apply for volunteer counselor positions by May 1, 2010. Applications will be available on line around April 1st. www.bridgesoutreach.org.
Summer Camp is funded in part by the Sarah Ward Foundation and the Community Congregational Church of Short Hills.
