Camp United

What is Camp United?

Camp United is United Hospital's summer volunteer program for high school and middle school students age 14-17. It consists of six, two-week sessions that are offered throughout the summer. Camp United participants that volunteer at least 24 hours during the school year will receive priority placement in Camp United. Camp United is the perfect solution for busy students who want to impact the community by volunteering.

Attend one two-week session and during this time you will help patients, families and staff at United Hospital by performing various duties in Guest Services, Patient Discharge Service, Gift Shop, and Patient Services. During these two weeks you will help people, learn about health care and reap the benefits of volunteering.
