Volunteers needed

The Muscular Dystrophy Association is looking for caring, fun-loving individuals to become volunteer counselors at weeklong MDA summer camps around the country.

The camp is designed to help young people with muscular dystrophy and related diseases have a little fun.

Counselor applicants must be at least 16 years old and able to lift and care for a young person between the ages of 6 and 17. Volunteer counselors are companions to campers with neuromuscular diseases, many of whom have limited mobility.

Counselors help with daily activities such as eating, bathing and dressing; and assist with recreational activities such as arts and crafts, swimming and horseback riding.

For applications, call 570-4970 or 800-572-1717.
