Nurse/Nurse Assistant
Assist campers with minor medical needs. Prefer volunteers with nursing credentials.

Snack Sales
Help set up and sell snacks to campers at the end of the camp day. As the snack sales area is very busy, volunteers need to have older children who can independently wait for their parent until after snack sales are finished, or find alternative care for younger children during snack sales.
Volunteer hours: From 2:15 to 3:25, but flexible.
Security
Walk the perimeter of camp and inside the building to ensure safety of campers. Approach non-campers as needed to be sure only campers are on site. Help with occasional setup, e.g. setting up risers for pictures.
Volunteer hours: Arrive at 9:00 for brief orientation the day of volunteering. Volunteers can work 1/2 days or full days for one or more days.
Set-Up / Clean-Up
Set-up is completed the Saturday prior to start of camp. Arrive at Minnehaha Academy at 9:15 a.m. and help unload boxes of supplies, deliver to appropriate rooms, and help set up gym for assembly.
Clean-Up is conducted Friday 3:00 on last day of camp, and Saturday following the completion of the Saturday program and lunch. Help gather boxes from rooms and load in vans.
