Youth Services Spring Camp Volunteers

Cooinda Retreats
Logo for Cooinda Retreats

Our youth camps are facilitated entirely by volunteers and funded by donations from our generous supporters. We are looking for people to join our team of young volunteers for the upcoming Spring Camp running from the 27th to the 29th of September. The camps are facilitated by a dedicated team of volunteers with more than 25 years and 50 camps experience between them. From all over South Australia, many of our campers have experienced trauma or hardship as a result of their circumstances. These hardships have social, emotional, behavioral, and financial impacts on the people involved, and the Openlight Youth Services Program aims to provide a respite opportunity to both the children and their families. Our mission is to immerse our campers in a holiday experience of fun-filled activities, positive development and confidence building all while making new friends. Our past activities include:

  • Movie Nights and Discos
  • Baking
  • Crafts and Sports
  • Bonfires
  • Excursions to local Victor Harbor surrounds (Urimbirra, beach, movie theatre etc.) Volunteers with specialised knowledge may choose to run their own activities but this is not a necessity.

On camps our volunteers have excellent opportunities to:

  • develop and demonstrate their leadership, organisational skill and initiative;
  • demonstrate their commitment to caring for children and social awareness;
  • meet other volunteers studying or working in related fields (such as teaching, psychology and social work; and
  • gain valuable experience working with children.
You can not apply for this role as it is no longer available.
