Reminder - Positions are still open

Camp Hobé is currently recruiting volunteers for their summer camp sessions, including counselors and kitchen assistants. Volunteering for Camp Hobé is a great experience for anyone, but especially for school professionals such as teachers, assistants, administrators, or lunch workers. It's a great opportunity to interact with kids outside of the classroom (plus you get to throw water balloons!).

Please forward the attached flyers to employees and anyone else interested in volunteering.
