MDA SEEKS COUNSELORS FOR CAMP

The Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) is seeking applications for volunteers who would like to be counselors at MDA summer campus.

Each volunteer acts as a companion to a child or teenager with a neuromuscular disease during a five- to seven- day camp session. Volunteers must be at least 16 years old and able to lift a child, said MDA Patient Service Coordinator Carla Fee.

"Without volunteer counselors, these young people wouldn't be able to enjoy this week of fun without physical and social barriers," said Fee. "For many young patients, camp is the highlight of the year."

Camp sessions will run June 13-18 at Touch of Nature Center near Carbondale, Ill. To volunteer, call the MDA office at 335-4400 or 1-800-455-1234.
