AT HOME CAMP

We are in need of volunteers to help during At Home Camp June 20-24. It’s a great way

to be involved and meet other parents. Bring a book or something to do as this is

not a strenuous endeavor!

Log into Charms and go to the Volunteer Button to see what’s available!

(Flyer with more info is attached.)

What is involved? The real WORK – Hauling water, passing out pretzels, administering meds, encouraging, and providing basic first aid.

The real FUN - Getting to know other Band parents, meeting the Band members (your child’s family at school), seeing the show develop, learning the basics of marching and drill, knowing where YOUR child is on the field, and finding out where the ice machines are at the school! You’ll also be amazed at how fantastic our band kids are!!! They are fun to watch and interact with

Who can help? ALL parents of WLC Viking Marching Band members are welcome to chaperone during At Home Camps! We cover all sections of the band, so sometimes you’ll be with your child’s section but not always.

When? Every day that the Band is at WLC during the week of JUNE 20-24, the WHOLE month of AUGUST, and the first week of SEPTEMBER until school starts!

What kind of time is involved? Each day is divided into two shifts. When we get into August, the dinner break will be the ‘changing of the guard’. Many parents are in and out at that time anyway to deliver food. If your work schedule or responsibilities with your other family members make it so that the start/end times that are set up don’t work for you, just let Lynne know that and we can be flexible.

What to bring? We could be inside or outside, on our own or in pairs or groups, moving around or sitting. So…a camp chair, something to read, water bottle, snacks, a meal if you’re staying over the dinner break, comfy shoes, sun hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, etc.

How do you get in on this fun? Log on to CHARMS. Go to the Volunteer Opportunities tab and choose the date(s) that you want to chaperone. When you click the date, the shift openings will show up. Just fill in your info, including your cell phone and email, and you’ll be all set. We need 4 chaperones per shift! Contact Lynne Wasiak with further questions: jlwasiak@comcast.net or call/text 248-425-0193.
