Volunteer Cara
Cara is the Irish word for “friend”. As a Cara your role at camp is to look after the daily needs of the campers, to accompany them in their activities and provide a fun, safe and supportive environment.
Volunteer Interpreter and Chaperone
Interpreters perform a very important role in translating and acting as the link between campers and staff. Chaperones accompany the campers to and from their home country, providing comfort, companionship, safety and support during travel.
