The Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) is seeking Licensed Health Professionals to serve as Medical Team Volunteers for our National Summer Camp Program, and we’d appreciate your support in connecting us with individuals willing to share this unique opportunity with their health communities.

The MDA Summer Camp Program is a week-long, residential camp program available to youth ages 8-17 living with neuromuscular disease, held at recreation facilities across the nation. It is a completely inclusive environment where campers can freely express who they are and fully participate in both traditional and theme-based summer camp activities designed to be adaptive for all abilities.

Medical Team Volunteers play a vital role in the execution of MDA Summer Camp, primarily supporting participants’ physical, emotional, and social needs, while also engaging in the traditional summer camp experience alongside the campers. They have reported that the experience further develops their talents and skills to reach professional goals and deepens their practice.

Interested Health Professionals must hold an active license in the state where the session is held and complete an application process. Prior experience in pediatric neuromuscular diseases and/ or pediatrics, and/ or knowledge of neuromuscular diseases and the various needs of the neuromuscular community not required.
