This application is for All-Family Camp, September 3 – September 6, 2010.
Starting this year we are enacting a non-refundable registration fee for all camp participants, and requiring volunteers to submit $25 with this application to help subsidize the cost of food and housing for the 4-day camp, normally a $750 cost to REACH for each person. Upon completion of this application you will be directed to a page to make your debit or credit card payment. (If you do not have a debit or credit card, please contact the Camp Director at the REACH office.) You will also have the option of making an additional donation.

In addition to paying the registration fee, what fundraising strategies can you initiate and/or assist in fulfilling to help cover the cost of your participation or that of a REACH child?

TRAINING

CAN YOU COMMIT TO UNIT AB TRAINING SESSION?   YES      NO
These sessions will include Orientation, Universal Precautions, Family Dynamics and Medical sessions. By choosing to be a volunteer member of the REACH team, it is mandatory that you attend one Training Units A and B. You must participate in one of the trainings, or you will be unable to do camp.
PLEASE SELECT THE SESSION YOU WILL ATTEND

Please note:  

During training we will be conducting a TB risk factor screening that will determine whether you need to undergo a TB test. If you do not pass the screening, we will provide you with a list of sites where you can get your test. (The results take 2-3 days to process, so plan ahead.)  

REACH maintains a high level of professionalism and confidentiality when working with children and families. Please be prepared to sign and abide by the REACH Code of Conduct and Confidentiality forms before participating in REACH programs.
