Grandview Heights Band Parents
Band Camp this year will be at Otterbein University in Westerville, Ohio, from Sunday July 24 through Friday July 29, 2022.
Volunteers are needed for various activities during check-in on Sunday and when the students return on Friday, as well as overnight chaperones each night at camp. Here are brief descriptions of each role:
Equipment Truck Driver: these volunteers will pick up our equipment truck at the rental location (we have used Pennske on Cemetery Rd in Hilliard in past years). On Sunday, the volunteer will take the truck to GHHS for loading and then drive to Otterbein for unloading, and then return the truck to the rental location. On Friday, the volunteer will pick up the truck, drive to Otterbein for loading, drive to GHHS for unloading, and then return the truck to the rental location.
Luggage Check: these volunteers will assist with luggage searches on Sunday prior to departure (all student luggage is searched for unauthorized items after check-in).
Luggage Load: these volunteers will help load large instruments and luggage onto the truck on Sunday prior to departure.
Camper Check-In: these volunteers will assist with checking in campers on Sunday.
Overnight Chaperones: these volunteers will attend the students' evening activity and then stay overnight in the dorms with the students each night during the week. You will have your own private dorm room. Additional details and instructions will be provided closer to the week of camp.
SENIOR NIGHT Overnight Chaperones: these volunteers are extra chaperones for the seniors on the last night of camp (Thursday night), when the seniors traditionally stay up later than other campers for special activities. Great duty for senior parents! Note: you may not get much sleep.
Luggage Unload: these volunteers will assist with unloading large instruments and luggage when the students return on Friday afternoon.
All adult volunteers need a current GH Schools background check to volunteer for Band Camp (or any other band activities). Please visit the GH Schools volunteer page for more information. A current list of approved volunteers is available there.
