206.436.2512 www.campburton.com [email protected]RE: VOLUNTEERS / STAFFING for NEW HORIZON’S CAMP July 9 – July 13, 2017 Dear Friend, Spring greetings from your friends at Camp Burton! We are eagerly preparing for summer camp and want to share our program information and service opportunities with you. For the past 3 decades, we have hosted an inspirational week for adults with special needs. Our New Horizons Camp is open to 40-60 adult campers, who are able to participate in a variety of camp activities such as swimming, crafts, canoeing, a talent show, games, singing, dancing, and much more. Our campers are all physically able to navigate our camp site (some with assistance), and attend to their own physical needs (with reminders). We are looking for volunteers and staff who understand the joys and struggles of working with the “special needs“ population. A week at New Horizons Camp can be exhausting, therefore we need support from folks who have a variety of the qualities listed below: JOYFUL PATIENT GOOD LISTENER PROBLEM SOLVER CREATIVE THINKER FLEXIBLE HIGH ENERGY SAFETY CONSCIENCE Camp Burton is a Christian faith-based camp, though there is no “statement of faith” requirement for New Horizon’s staff. We do ask that every staff member support and participate in the programmed spiritual elements of camp, such as morning chapel (songs, skit, Bible story) and meal time prayers. These will be lead by campers and our program staff. Camp Burton’s goal is to encourage our campers! We want to give them hope, create joyful experiences and to express our love and thankfulness for who they are. For safety and to facilitate programming during New Horizons, we need 20-30 ADULTS to commit to this week. Attached is information on dates and compensation. If you can volunteer, we would greatly appreciate it! The money we save on staffing will go back into camper scholarships and program supplies. We do understand financial needs, so please just let us know what will work for your situation. Please feel free to share this information with friends and co-workers, who you think might be a good fit! If you have questions, or need more information, please email me or call the camp office at: [email protected](206) 463-2512 Sincerely, Michele Rutschow Michele Rutschow Executive Director WWW.CAMPBURTON.COM 9326 SW Bayview Dr. Vashon, WA 98070
