Camp Moomba: Logistics Support

Camp Moomba is a peer support and education program for youth living with, and affected by, HIV in British Columbia. It is a lifechanging program where campers (aged 6 – 17) come together for in a camp community where HIV can be talked about openly, and kids can be kids. 

Planning, packing, setting up, packing, and transporting people and supplies is an important part of camp. Many hands make light(er) work.

Transpo Day:
Transpo Day to and from camp is like a short road trip with youth, with a camp bus, a ferry, and sometimes, planes and trains. This may include picking up campers within the Lower Mainland and bringing them to or from our bus pick up locations, or meeting campers at the airport and bringing them to join us. This role happens on our first and last days of camp.

Pre / Post Camp Supply Support:
Coordinating camp supplies includes making an inventory list, purchasing additional items as needed, transporting supplies to and from camp, setting up key camp areas like Wellness, and packing it all up, bringing it back, and ensuring it is ready to go for the next camp.

For folks interested in coming to camp, please note camp days are quite long and very full! In a typical day, volunteers get a short chunk of time to themselves.

Camp is a screen-free experience for campers. Volunteers may use screens, although our camp locations have limited cell service and no or limited wifi.

Volunteers share sleeping quarters with others at camp, most often, with campers. Some of our sleeping spaces are gendered, while many are not.
