  • 2022 Camp Firefly

    HASDC's Annual Youth Camp for Children Ages 7-14
  • Submitting a Camp Firefly application DOES NOT guarantee you a Staff position at camp. As space is limited, applications will be reviewed by HASDC and acceptance will be dependent on the order the application is received, qualifications, and that all required forms are complete, accurate, and submitted prior to the deadline.
  • Please make sure you have all the required Staff information, including health information and documents ready to upload, before completing the application.

    You will need to provide and/or upload the following documents:

    • Medications: complete list of medications you take (includes but not limited to factor, other prescription meds, over the counter medications, inhalers, etc.)
    • Insurance Card: copy of your insurance card, front and back. 
    • COVID-19 Vaccination: a copy of your COVID-19 vaccination card (full COVID vaccination required for all campers and staff; must be fully vaccinated 2-weeks prior to camp start date). 
    • Immunization Records: a copy of your immunization records, signed and validated by your primary care physician. The following immunizations/vaccinations are required: DTap (Diphtheria/Tetanus/Pertussis), MMR (Measles/Mumps/Rubella), Measles, Varicella (chicken pox), Polio, Hepatitis A & B, and COVID-19.
  • Staff Self-Assessment

    Are you ready to join our camp staff?
  • Can you take the time to make a difference?         
     
    Since you are inquiring about a camp staff position with HASDC, it means that you possess a caring and compassionate nature. All camp positions require a significant commitment during camp. Sometimes staff with good intentions and great ideas are simply too busy to follow through on their commitment. This can result in a disappointed camper. With this in mind, we are counting on you to follow through with the commitments you make to the camp in addition to the other commitments in your life. 
     
    You understand that you will check your personal life upon arrival and fully participate in camp for the entire week. You understand that there will most likely be no cell coverage, no access to email, limited sleep. Please consider this carefully before you apply.
     
    Can you go with the flow?

    The physical environment in which we live at camp is different than what we are used to in our everyday lives. In addition to the uniqueness of the physical environment, we continually challenge camp staff to reach new heights of personal growth that will then help them lead campers to the best possible camp experience. Though this unique environment can be challenging, it is part of what makes it such a rewarding experience for staff.
     
    Can you go the extra mile?   

    At HASDC, we strive to make camp a life-enriching experience for all who attend, campers and staff alike. We strongly urge staff to spend time before camp honing their counseling skills by learning new camp songs, child management techniques, leadership skills, and technical skills. To what length are you willing to go in order to be the best camp counselor, JRC, or general staff person that you can be?


     
    Thank you for considering these important questions. Every staff person is important to the mission of HASDC’s summer camps and the campers rely on YOU for this extraordinary experience. If after answering these questions to yourself, camp seems like it is a good fit for you, then please complete the registration materials by July 22.

  • I,       , am the participant (over 21-years of age) who will travel to and attend Camp Firefly (hereinafter the "Camp"), at YMCA Camp Oakes, sponsored by the Hemophilia Association of San Diego County ("HASDC"). I understand that the activities involved in Camp will pose the risk of harm or injury. On my own behalf, I hereby freely and expressly consent to release, discharge, indemnify and hold harmless the Hemophilia Association of San Diego County, and their respective agents, employees, and representatives from any damage, claims, loss, or injury sustained by me while traveling to or from the Camp, while attending or participating in any activities at Camp, or any other trips or activities sponsored by the Hemophilia Association of San Diego County.

    As the participant, I hereby give my consent to any medical treatment, including any examination, X-ray, anesthetic, medical or surgical diagnosis or treatment, or hospital care to be rendered to me under the general or special provisions of the Medical Practice Act, or to consent to any dental treatment, including any examination, X-ray, anesthetic, dental or surgical diagnosis or treatment, or hospital care to be rendered to me by a dentist licensed under the provisions of the Dental Practice Act. This authorization shall be effective while I am en-route to or from Camp, or involved or participating in any program or activity of Camp, or under the supervision of any personnel associated with the Camp, regardless of the location where treatment or care is rendered, unless earlier revoked by me in writing and delivered to the Hemophilia Association of San Diego County.
