  *Note to Parents Interested in Volunteering: One of the most important outcomes that campers experience at Camp Oasis is an increased sense of independence.  To foster that outcome, CCFA does not allow parents of campers to serve as camp counselors.
  
  *Note to Internationals Interested in Volunteering:  We accept international applications at all camp locations.  However, precedence will be given to those who live in the camp's territory.  After you have applied please contact the local camp office to let them know of your circumstance.  Like all volunteers, if accepted, you will be responsible for getting yourself to and from camp, but your accommodations during the camp session will be covered.
