Volunteer as a Family Pal at our Burn Survivor Family Weekend!

Give children with serious medical conditions a Camp experience they’ll always remember!

Every child deserves to experience the life-changing power of camp. The Painted Turtle provides year-round camp experiences for children with serious medical conditions. Located in Lake Hughes, California, The Painted Turtle is a proud member of the global SeriousFun Children’s Network, founded by Paul Newman. Every aspect of the intentional and adaptive programming at Camp - from a wheelchair-friendly ropes course to exceptional on-site medical care - is designed to allow all campers to participate in all activities. Since opening in 2004, over 200,000 children and their families have experienced The Painted Turtle completely free of charge.

We are looking for volunteers for our Family Weekends over several dates in the Spring season, where the entire families of children with a medical condition get to come to camp together. Volunteers work directly with our campers and families to facilitate the joy of camp and bring smiles to their faces while cheering them on in activities such as Horseback Riding, Archery, Boating, Fishing, Arts & Crafts, Woodshop, and so much more! We provide food, housing, and transportation from LAX for volunteers - so all you have to worry about is having fun with your campers and families!
