Volunteer Camp Staff
In the summers, Okizu offers five one-week sessions of camp for children with cancer and their siblings. In the spring and fall, we offer six weekend-long Family Camps, one Teens-N-Twenties weekend, and two weekends specifically for bereaved teenagers. We rely on volunteers to make every session of camp possible and believe very strongly that the most important element to the success of our programs is our hardworking and talented volunteer staff. We run sessions all over Northern California.
At summer camp, volunteers work with the kids 24 hours a day, taking care of their needs and ensuring that they have an amazing week at camp. Volunteering at SIBS and/or Oncology Camp is a seven-day commitment; volunteers spend one days in staff training and six days with the campers.
