Camp Volunteers: 5 day camp

Reach4Reality works with autistic young people and young adults involving them in a range of outdoor activities tailored to their individual needs. Activities might be short 1:1 sessions with our staff, half day/day activities during the holidays, building up to overnight stays, weekend camps and 5 day camps. We are looking for volunteers to come and help on our two 5 day camps: 8th-12th July at Glencoe Outdoor Centre or 21st-25th October at Abernethy Trust, Nethybridge. The role of a camp volunteer is to come and support young people and young adults with autism or another social communication difficulty on one of our 5 day camps. Volunteers do the outdoor activities (e.g. canoeing, kayaking, biking, walking) alongside the young people and our staff, and centre staff, supporting them as required, but primarily just befriending them and helping to make sure that they have a fun and rewarding experience. Within the more general social times on camp, the role involves chatting to the young people, playing games with them. No specific experience of outdoor activities required, just a reasonable level of fitness and a willing to give activities a try! This opportunity can be counted as a Gold DofE residential if required.
