At Camp No Worries, pediatric oncology nurses, social workers, cabin counselors, program heads and other camp staff are selectively chosen for their experience and enthusiasm for working with children with cancer. This all-volunteer staff displays the characteristics any parent would expect of someone who will spend a week caring for their child with cancer: commitment, honesty, courage, perseverance, respect, and perhaps most importantly, a sense of responsibility. Pediatric oncologists are also on-call 24 hours a day for any necessary medical needs.

Most of the Camp No Worries staff is on site for the entire weeklong session. However, there are part time volunteer opportunities in various program areas as well.

Minimal requirements for full-time Camp No Worries staff:

• Must be at least 19 years of age
• Must complete an application and provide one letter of recommendation by a person who has witnessed the applicant’s interaction with children
• Undergo a mandatory pre-camp orientation and training to become familiar with the physical, developmental and social aspects of working with children with cancer and their siblings in a summer camp setting
• Complete a criminal background check
• Be in excellent health and have the stamina to withstand a demanding week in the heat and sun
• Have No Worries!
