Volunteer Opportunity Details:

Last updated on May 20, 2013

SUMMER 2013: HOPE Summer Camp operates at Camp Collier in Gardner which is a perfect setting for the campers that might not otherwise have a safe and enjoyable summer. In addition to a full day of recreational activities, campers entering grades 3-6 that need an extra academic boost to prepare for school in the fall work have the benefit of receiving one-on-one tutoring each day. We need volunteers to work with children from 9:45-12:45, Monday-Friday in one of three two-week sessions IN 2013: Session 1: July 1-12 Session 2: July 15-27 Session 3: July 28-August 9

The tutoring environment is relaxed, with many campers and tutors sitting by the lake to work together. Others work in the dining lodge that has a lake view. Tutors work with the same 3 campers for the two weeks which gives tutors the opportunity to see the campers make progress.

Volunteers need to be 17 or older and able to make a two week commitment. Excellent communication skills and ability to provide positive role modeling, knowledge of elementary basic Math and English competencies are needed for tutors. However, the campers work with book report completion and basic math skills for grades 3-6.
Volunteers must attend a volunteer training usually held during the last week of June. Individuals with an educational background are most welcome!
