THE INTEGRATIVE TOUCH HEALING CENTER

CAMP VOLUNTEERS

InTouch Camp Volunteer

We invite volunteers aged 13+ to help create memories for kids of all abilities at our inclusive camp! Volunteers will participate in an orientation and will receive training and guidance to ensure an excellent camp experience.

Each volunteer is paired with a camper to support them in moving freely, making friends, and expressing themselves through a variety of physical and inclusive activities! Activities include arts & crafts, expressive movement, and up-close interactions with real animals you don’t meet every day.

Responsibilities

  • Support: Assist campers aged 4-18+, guiding them through various activities, providing encouragement, adaptive support and assisting with tasks.
  • Participate: Join in on the movement, exploration, creative play, and community outings—always fostering an environment of fun and discovery!
  • Cleanup: Help tidy up the space at the end of each session.
  • Debrief: Take part in team reflections and discussions to share ideas and ensure each day’s activities are impactful and enjoyable

Requirements

  • Age: Volunteers must be 13 years or older and excited to support the creative growth of young people. Invite your friends to join!
  • Timing: We ask that volunteers commit to at least 4 out of the 6 camp weeks.
  • Willingness: A passion for encouraging and guiding children through creative expression.
  • Background Checks: Volunteers 18 and older must complete a background check through our organization (every 3 years). A small fee applies, and we will guide you through this process.

FAQ

Q: If there’s a day I will not be able to attend, what do I do?
A: We ask that you attend a minimum of 4 out of the 6 camp days. Please inform the Camps and Volunteer Coordinator of any anticipated absences ahead of time, via the volunteer intake form. Once camp is in session, if you are sick or unable to attend, please contact us to inform them by texting/calling (520.343.6428) or emailing Camps@IntegrativeTouch.org

Q: What are the volunteer hours? Am I required to come early / stay late?
A: Half day volunteers should arrive at 8am and plan to stay until 12:30pm. Full day volunteers should arrive at 8am and plan to stay until 4:15pm. * Please note this information is specific to Animals Camp April / May 2026.

Q: What if I do not have experience working with kids with disabilities?
A: That is okay! Volunteers will take part in an orientation in addition to trainings throughout the camp at the open and close of each session. Most important is a genuine willingness to connect, along with the patience, playfulness, and openness to support people whose experiences or abilities may differ from your own.

Q: Is there an age requirement to volunteer?
A: We welcome adult volunteers of any age, and youth volunteers ages 13 & up!

Q: What if I am interested in volunteering at the center, but would rather not support during camps with kids? Are there other volunteer opportunities?
A: Yes! We have a variety of other opportunities to volunteer at InTouch. Please contact our Program Community Development Director, Andi Hammonds, at 520-812-6340.

Volunteering at an Integrative Touch Camp was so meaningful to me, and FUN!

Everyone from our small children to parents has utilized various classes and services offered. We have all learned so much at camps and classes. Every one we have met through Integrative Touch has been so kind and a wealth of information. We have recommended them to everyone we know.
