We Need Volunteers

In order to run this camp we will need 15-20 volunteers. We need at least three horse staff. Our training will take place on August 3-5, 2012, with arrival on Friday, 2 August 2012. Volunteers will stay at the camp for the whole time. The training is mandatory if you would like to volunteer. There are certain protocols that need to be followed with these children. Camp will run smoothly if everyone is on the same page.

Training may count at CEUs for a number of professional organizations. Please contact us for more information.

Camp runs between 6-12 August 2012. Most people leave the afternoon of the 12th August. It is a busy, but rewarding and at times hilarious adventure.

If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Marie Sherwood at Marie@SoulHarmonyInc.com.
