Special Olympics New Jersey (SONJ) offers the opportunity to volunteer at their annual Camp Shriver, a five-week program that provides a sport and fitness environment for SONJ athletes. Volunteers are active participants in the camp experience, working alongside athletes and rotating through different stations each day. The camp aims to make the experience inclusive, fun, and engaging for all participants, and past volunteers have found it to be a rewarding opportunity that has influenced their college and career paths.
Applicants must be at least 16 years old and willing to commit to the entire week they are applying for. The camp offers sessions for athletes of different age groups and abilities, with each week focusing on a specific sport or fitness activity. Volunteers are expected to enthusiastically participate in camp activities and adhere to the camp rules of conduct and dress code. By volunteering at Camp Shriver, individuals have the chance to make new friends, share a camp experience with SONJ athletes, and contribute to a meaningful cause.
