Volunteer for Camp Wannaklot

Volunteer for Camp Wannaklot

By Kim Williams, Director of Camp and Client Events

Published February 1, 2018

 

We need counselors to help the kids have a fun, safe week this summer at Camp Wannaklot. Camp Wannaklot is a week-long summer camp for children with inherited bleeding disorders. Hemophilia of Georgia partners with Camp Twin Lakes in Rutledge, to host Camp Wannaklot. Campers will participate in a variety of activities including horseback riding, archery, fishing, paddle boating, canoeing, and swimming.  

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.  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.

What do Camp Wannaklot counselors do?
•    Work with the lead counselor to guide and direct the campers in a variety of activities.
•    Provide leadership and support to assigned cabin group.
•    Always know the location of assigned campers.
•    Maintain a positive attitude.
•    Participate in activities for the health, safety, and well-being of campers and staff.
•    Have fun!

Camp dates this summer are Sunday, July 15 to Friday, July 20.  Counselors report a day early, on Saturday, July 14, for orientation and training. If you’d like to volunteer, please visit our website at https://www.hog.org/camp/page/volunteer-application.  If you have questions, you can contact Kim Williams at kawilliams@hog.org.  We hope to see you there.
