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.
