Special Needs Camp Counselor

Description

Camp Counselors needed to work on camps for people with special needs. No previous experience necessary, as all camps for people with special needs will provide a 1-2 week training session prior to the arrival of the campers.
Summer camps for people with special needs provide a haven for campers and their families to take a break from their daily routine. As a special needs counselor, your role will have a hugely positive impact on the lives of campers and their families.

We are looking for people, who are willing to work hard at providing a comforting, fun and supportive environment for their campers and who can smile even in the most challenging of situations. In addition to the experience your you will gain, there is also an opportunity to gain a special needs certification through the University of Minnesota’s Institute of Community Integration’s College of Direct Support.
