Camp Footloose provides a valuable opportunity for children and young people with arthritis (aged 9 to 18 years) to have fun, meet others like them and share experiences in a supportive environment. It also helps them gain a sense of control over arthritis and their lives.

Volunteering for our camps is a rewarding experience to support the development and foster social inclusion and fun for children living with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA).

As a camp volunteer, we ask that you:

• participate in an informal screening interview (via Zoom)
• attend a digital training day (6.00pm – 8.30pm, 13 December 2021 via Zoom) covering roles and responsibilities, condition education and child protection training
• active participation in a weeklong sport and recreation camp (active involvement during 8am – 9pm Tuesday – Thursday)
• support ANSW staff with monitoring children for safety and social participation with activities and peers
