Re: your question about HS volunteers.:

HS students can sign up to volunteer once the MS in the same cluster asks for volunteers. An Assistant Principal, Counselor, teacher can recommend students if needed. The HS earns SSL hours or used to earn SSL, and are excused from classes. HS volunteers assist teachers or adult chaperones who are supervised by a MS teacher. So, they are not typically left alone with the 6th grade student, tho some duties include walking a student to the nurse station at ODE, bathroom if they are away from bathrooms (hiking), sitting at the dining table during meals, and are sleeping in same cabin as 6th grade students who are supervised in the cabin by an adult volunteer.

Adult volunteer completes volunteer interest application (such as a Google form indicating their interest to volunteer), background check, fingerprinting, attending adult volunteer info sessions led by the MS's ODE lead teacher to go over duties, responsibilities, expectations etc. An adult volunteer who is staying overnight will have a cabin group. A volunteer who is staying overnight and also during the day will have a cabin group and an instructional group 
(assisting teachers with activity under guidance from an expert at the ODE site), 
corral students, make sure they stay in line, assist in taking them to nurse station or bathroom as needed, assist in dining hall serving food.[/quote]
