Your Volunteer Role and housing information

Welcome to your Volunteer assignment page! Here you’ll find all the details that will help you feel right at home for the weekend, including your volunteer assignment, your housing assignment, and a heads up to the people you can expect to be there with you during the weekend.

Each of these selections was thoughtfully arranged in hopes of creating a fun, supportive, and connected experience for you, our families and everyone.

You have been selected as a FAMILY PAL!

Family Pals are paired with a family and serve as their guide throughout the weekend. That means welcoming your family to camp, escorting them throughout their camp experience and enjoying the joys of camp with all members of the family. Your role is very important because as the initial face of Sun Escape and the family’s constant representation, you have a major part in the feel of camp and the community that is established. In short, laugh, play and care for your campers

Your assigned family for the weekend is THE BOVET FAMILY!

The Bovet Family is bringing an army to Sun Escape to rally around their SU daughter, Lucy. 7 families deep making their way from New York. Speaking about last year’s Sun Escape and its impact on Lucy, the family wrote “The weekend in 2025 helped Lucy to feel like she’s not alone in this big world with people who don’t understand what she’s going thru. Last year was overwhelming as our first year, but Lucy came home with more confidence, and this year her goal is to interact with more of the kids in the Sun disorder community. As a mother, I was able to learn from the other parents about some things that have worked for them. It was such an encouraging experience for us.”

We encourage our volunteers to reach out to their assigned family via email prior to the start of camp to introduce themselves. The family’s email is below. We have also shared with the family your primary email should they wish to get in contact with you proactively. While highly encouraged on both ends, it is not required to reach out.

Your Volunteer Housing Assignment

Volunteers and support staff will not be located on cabin row; instead, they will be organized together in communal housing close to the Super Dome. Resembling a college dorm, most units accommodate 4 to 5 guests, featuring two private bedrooms, a common area, and a shared bathroom.

If you've indicated that you're traveling with a partner or family member, we will ensure that you are placed in the same room. You have been assigned to room P2 in our Program Housing Wing, which also includes:

  • LEXI HANKINSON

  • DARLENE UEHLING

  • HETANSHI NAIK

  • JESSICA SHELTON

We cannot wait to see you soon!
