Apply here to be considered for the 2023 JA Camp Volunteer Team 

The Arthritis Foundation’s JA Camp programs give kids with arthritis and related childhood rheumatic diseases the chance to make lasting memories. JA Camp brings hope and connection to kids, teens and their families.

Camp staff and volunteers strive to provide campers with a camping experience that includes traditional activities like, campfires, arts and crafts, theme nights, swimming, sports, lake activities, and other activities in an environment that considers campers’ strengths and not the limitations of the camper’s disease. 

Getting to know others who live with the same or similar experiences with arthritis is life-changing and helps our campers build friendships that last a lifetime. We are grateful for your willingness to share your valuable time with our campers!  We look forward to an exciting and fun-filled camp session and cannot wait to meet with you to discuss your interest in joining our camp team!
