Special Olympics Volunteer Opportunity Camp Soar

The Levine JCC in conjunction with the Mecklenburg Special Olympics will be hosting Camp Soar this June. This is the ninth year the Levine JCC has hosted this event. This year's camp will be June 15-18^th. Camp Soar participants enjoy sports activities such as basketball, tennis, soccer, kickball, volleyball, yackleball, golf, floor hockey bowling bocce, and of course SWIMMING! SwimMAC has been invited to have volunteers participate in the swimming portion of the camp. SwimMAC volunteers would serve as pool pals.

SwimMAC volunteers must be 14 years of age or older. Masters swimmers are welcome to join in on this effort as well. On Monday and Tuesday the Camp Soar swimmers will be ages 26 and above. On Wednesday and Thursday the campers will be ages 10 to 25. The job of the SwimMAC volunteer is to be a pool companion......to play in the water and just have some fun with the campers.......no hard core instruction.....fun with these special people.  This will give the volunteer that is with the athlete during the day a little break .We are not only are we helping the campers but other volunteers.

Coach Patty will be on deck all four days working with the volunteers and the campers.

Volunteers need to turn in the attached volunteer form by Wednesday June 10, 2009. Either turn the form in to your coach or ask the front desk to put the form in Coach Patty's mailbox! Camp Soar needs you.....sign-up today!
