The Balance Camp Team
facilitating fun for children & young adults with special needs
Carolyn Miller
Chairperson Of Balance
Carolyn has been working with Balance for 20 years. Carolyn started as a gymnastics teacher for children with special needs. She then went into leisure management and consultancy, experience that contributes greatly to her role as chairperson of Balance. Carolyn now works as a full time florist, alongside her duties at Balance. Her role includes overseeing finances, overseeing the whole Balance organisation (camp and charity shop) and ensuring the smooth running of the charity.
Staff
Our team also consists of our dedicated Balance staff. Many of our staff are trained or training primary school teachers. We also have students who are studying childcare and social care. Many staff members began as volunteers with the camp.
Volunteers
Balance Summer Camp would not be possible without the support of our volunteers. Volunteers are interviewed and selected based on their personal qualities and suitability for the position. Basic training is provided for volunteers at the beginning of camp.
We aim to provide the best care possible for our camp goers and all volunteers are overviewed by experienced staff. There is always a qualified carer, health care professional or teacher present.
All staff and volunteers are Garda vetted through the Balance organisation.
