Camp Program Volunteering

TOGETHER WE MAKE DREAMS COME TRUE!

Camp Taylor derives its strength in camp programming through the work of dedicated camp directors, healthcare professionals, and community-minded individuals that care about helping children. Several of the volunteers at Camp Taylor have been working with the organization since its inception over 19 years ago!  The volunteers at Camp Taylor help children fighting heart disease lead more fulfilling lives!

​

All Camp program volunteers arrive in camp the day prior to camper arrival. Camp Taylor operates a closed campus requiring all volunteers to stay onsite the entire length of camp. 

​
