Volunteer
Due to the nature of the camp, Camp SMILE requires that all “over-night” volunteers be CPR/First Aid certified and that they attend a 3-day training session on working with individuals with disabilities prior to camp. Both of these are offered to volunteers at minimal to no cost at all.
A CPR/First Aid class is offered on two different occasions for a minimal cost of $15.00. Both classes will be held at UCP of Mobile located at 3058 Dauphin Square Connector. If you have current CPR/First Aid certification, you need not take it again, simply mail in a copy of your certification.
| Class 1 | May 15, 2010 | 9:00am - 3:00pm |
| Class 2 | May 22, 2010 | 9:00am - 3:00pm |
| Counselor Training | June 24-26, 2010 | Mandatory for all “overnight” volunteers |
Training check in is Thursday, June 24th from 9:00-10:00 a.m. Training will begin
promptly at 10:30 a.m. All volunteers should plan to remain at camp until 3:00 p.m.
on Saturday, June 26th.
