For Volunteers
Camp Wannaklot is a week-long summer camp for children who have hemophilia or another bleeding disorder. We have a medical staff on site for the entire week, so volunteers do not need a medical background, first aid courses, or CPR certification.
Hemophilia of Georgia partners with Camp Twin Lakes Will-A-Way in Winder, Georgia to host Camp Wannaklot. Camp Twin Lakes Will-A-Way is one hour northeast of Atlanta off of Hwy 316 heading towards Athens Ga. Campers will participate in a variety of activities including horseback riding, archery, fishing, paddle boating, canoeing, and swimming. We need counselors to help them have a fun, safe week. This is a residential camp, which means we stay at camp the entire week. All lodging, activities, and meals are provided for counselors and campers.
What is expected of Camp Wannaklot counselors?
• Work with the lead counselor to guide and direct the campers in activities.
• Provide leadership and support to assigned cabin group.
• Know the location of assigned campers at all times.
• Participate in activities for the health, safety, and well-being of campers and staff.
• Maintain a positive attitude.

What Do Camp Counselors Need to Know?
Camp Wannaklot Counselors should be familiar with hemophilia and von Willebrand Disease, the bleeding disorders that affect most of the campers at Camp Wannaklot. Below are links to typical camper schedules. Due to COVID, they may look a little different.
