Thank you for your interest in volunteering for our 2026 Chameleon’s Journey Grief Camps. The same application will be used for our Spring Day Camps on Saturday, March 28, at the Staunton Bridge Community Center in Greenville, SC, and Saturday, April 18, at the Hemby YMCA Program Center in Charlotte, NC. This application also includes our Summer Day Camp on Friday, June 5, in Shelby, NC, and Fall Overnight Camp on October 9-11 at the YMCA Camp Thunderbird on Lake Wylie. In addition, a national background check will be required for every volunteer (a separate link will be sent for this background check for all potential volunteers outside of VIA HP). Upon completion of the application, all interested first-time volunteers will be contacted by a member of leadership for a screening interview. Returnees will also be contacted to verify interest and placement. Volunteer positions include group counselors, assistants, “all-abouts,” and registration specialists. Parents/Guardians of campers are not eligible to serve on CJ staff. Fall Overnight Camp volunteers are asked to stay in sleep cabins at Camp Thunderbird unless granted an exception by camp leadership.

To be considered, please complete and submit this application form, in its entirety.
