There will be a ratio of 2:1 of volunteer mentors to child. Most volunteers will be youth aged soccer players from our sixteen YRSA Youth Soccer Clubs (they will be provided training prior to the start of camp)
A parent/guardian will be required to attend with your child each day to camp to assist the volunteer youth mentors should any problems arise.
The children will be split into age specific groups and will be assessed as to their playing level on the first day of camp.
The playing field is fenced for safety reasons, and there is an accessible washroom facility nearby.
Certificates of Achievement will be handed out to all the children on the final day of camp.
A sponsored farewell “party” will be held on the final day of camp.
Youth-Aged Camp Mentors Needed!
Calling All Youth-Aged Soccer Players!!! We will need between 60-120 Youth Volunteers (aged 14+) to act as mentors at each of the two special needs camps. The goal is to have a 2:1 ratio of counselors to child.
This is a great opportunity for you to get involved in making a positive impact in your community while earning your community service hours for your high school diploma.
