Volunteer opportunities are for a few hours, for a day or for the week. Activities include tennis, archery, cycling and other wheelchair sports. Teen-age volunteers, ages 14 and up, will be “buddies” for campers, and will assist instructors, serve lunches and participate in the camp activities. Adult volunteers will do similar activities plus direct some of the sports and assist with personal care needs of the campers.
The Carrie Tingley Hospital Foundation supports wheelchair sports programs in the community through the Arts and Athletics Beyond Limits. Programs include the Zia Hot Shots, a junior wheelchair basketball team and the Turbo Wheelers, a power wheelchair soccer team.
