Invalid Input



SESSION(S) VOLUNTEERING FOR

NOTE: Volunteer spotters will walk/jog approximately 3 miles during each 75-minute session so please keep this in mind if considering volunteering for multiple sessions. Unless you are very athletic, you may want to consider not volunteering for more than two (2) sessions per day.

We encourage volunteers to commit to attending all 5 days of camp for the session(s) selected. Riders bond with their assigned volunteer(s) and rely on the same person to be there to support them each day of camp. We do understand this is not always a possibility and will welcome volunteers any days and times they can attend.

Please check the boxes for ALL days and times you can assist.  16 volunteers are needed for each session on each day of the week!

YOU will make a difference!
