How many volunteers are needed?
Does my Virtus Certification count?
- Safe and Sacred: the program of the Archdiocese of Indianapolis, and,
- RC Activities: the camp's parent legal non-profit organization.
Who is a volunteer?
- Any balanced individual at least 18 years of age,
- Anyone helping at a camp activity aimed at minors as a staff, chaperone, cook, or other role,
- Someone with proper training and certification.
How many volunteers are needed?
- A minimum of 2 (unrelated) adults are needed for our events.
- We hold to a 1:10 ratio (though we strive for 1:6 for middle school and 1:8 for high school).
Does my Virtus Certification count?
- No. The Archdiocese of Indianapolis wants all volunteers to be certified under their own program, "Safe and Sacred".
