Welcome!! TO CAMP ERIN® PHILADELPHIA 2027!
At Penn Medicine Hospice we are always eager to meet individuals interested in volunteering at Camp Erin® Philadelphia. However, each year we are not able to accept every new volunteer. It is important that you review the training dates and requirements prior to submitting an application to confirm that you will be able to comply with them.
If you are a NEW applicant, once your application has been approved, you will be contacted to schedule an interview. These usually take place virtually over Microsoft Teams, during normal business hours (9am-5pm), Monday through Friday. They typically last 30-45 minutes.
Applications due by March 30th.
IMPORTANT DATES: Please check your calendar now to confirm you are able to attend all of the mandatory dates. If you are not able to attend one or more of the training dates, we ask that you apply another year. The trainings are very important in ensuring the safety of all volunteers and campers who attend Camp Erin®.
