Camp NOVA is an overnight camp for individuals with disabilities.

 

Date(s): Sunday, August 17 to Saturday, August 23

We would like to have ten (10) volunteers for each day, except Sunday.  On Sunday, five volunteers will be enough.  See below for a list of the daily scheduled activities which you, family and friend(s)s can support the campers as well as be an active participant in the activities.

Camp NOVA 2008 (http://www.efnj.com/content/services/camp_nova.html) is a wonderful opportunity for children living with epilepsy and other developmental disabilities to enjoy summer camp at the fun-filled Linwood MacDonald YMCA Camp (http://www.newarkymca.org/linwood/) in beautiful Branchville, NJ!  Camp NOVA is a one week overnight program for young people, ages 12 - 28, that provides an exciting and independent camping experience in a camp environment filled with fun experiences and memories that last a lifetime.  When interacting with children and young adults in any setting its key that the volunteers come with a genuine compassion for people with a disability(ies). 

AT&T employees volunteer support will make the week easier for the campers as well as the staff with a change of personalities every day.  We want the campers to get the ultimate camp experience. 

AT&T employee volunteers can participate for one day or multiple days.
