Life at KAC - Summer Cont.

  • Expect to help staff and volunteers with dishes and cleaning up the dining hall after meals each day.  Many hands make light work. 
  • We don’t have the capability to prepare meals for special restrictions.  If you require special food, please be in contact with us so we can help you come up with a solution.

Life at KAC - Summer Cont.

  • Single volunteers can plan on staying in dorm style housing with 6-8 of your fellow students or volunteers. 
  • We have family and couples housing and will do our best to accommodate the needs of your family.
