Roots in the Heights summer program 2015: Volunteer Application
Thank you very much for your enthusiastic support of the Roots Summer Program. This is the sixth year we have held the program and we hope to build on relationships made with families in our neighborhood over the last few years, as well as welcoming our kids from Emmanuel.


+What will the camp look like?

This will be a 5-week program held on Sundays at Union Theological Seminary for children ages 6 – 11 years. The five Sundays this year are: June 28, July 5, July 12, July 19, and July 26. We hope to have around 30 children participating, both from the neighborhood and Emmanuel. Activities will start at 1:30pm and finish at 3.30pm. We will pick up children from Grant Houses at 1:00pm and drop them off by 4pm.

+In each session we will:

--Gather kids together at the start for songs and games, introducing the day’s theme;
--Hear a short Bible teaching
--Have small groups for activities and snacks; and
--Bring the kids back together again to reinforce the theme of the day and share together

We will have a training session on Sunday May 31st 2015 from 12:45-2pm to prepare for the camp. Lunch will be provided. There will be a make up training session on June 7th for those who cannot attend on May 31st.

Each Sunday of the camp we will also provide lunch at 12:30pm for volunteers and spend half an hour together, preparing and praying for the session.

+What will volunteers do?

There are many different ways you can volunteer and time commitments vary too. For most roles you do not need to be at the camp every week. But – of course – we need to know when you are available. We are looking to have three teams of 3-5 volunteers and one team of 4-7 volunteers EACH Sunday (total of four teams). Tasks are grouped together to ensure that volunteers will not bored or inactive for long periods of time at any point during the program.
