Camp AmeriKids, a summer camp for children living with HIV/AIDS, is looking for caring, responsible, energetic and fun counselors for our 2011 season. A volunteer counselor team is responsible for the 24-hour supervision of a cabin and maintains a camper to counselor ratio of about 2 to1. Counselors spend each day of the one week camp session with their cabin group as they rotate through a schedule of activities and participate in new and exciting workshops provided by the program staff. The cabin counselor’s enthusiastic participation in all aspects of camp, from meals and activities to nightly special events and cabin chats, is crucial in creating a memorable camp experience for our campers. Counselors are expected to be role models, sources of energy and ideas, and are a key part of the Camp AmeriKids community. Room & board at our site in Warwick, NY provided. Volunteers can apply for one or both of the following sessions:

Session One: July 23rd – July 30th
Session Two: August 3rd – August 10th

Applications are available on our website www.campamerikids.org. Please contact us if you are interested in more information. Thank you! Hope to see you this summer…
