Special Needs

Special Needs Camps

Change the lives of others and gain the ultimate reward this summer by working at a special needs camp! If you’re hard working, willing to learn and can’t wait to get to camp this year then this could be the perfect role for you. 

With no prior skill set needed, just a willingness to get involved this is a fantastic opportunity to not only have a fulfilling summer helping others, but also to boost your chances in being recruited!

Why work at a special needs camp:

• Counselors who do choose to work at a special needs camp, will usually discover at the end of the season that any fear you may have had before the program was well worth overcoming.
• You will likely develop a wisdom and an understanding that you could not comprehend before and that goes beyond the regular camp experience.
• You face the additional challenge of interacting with campers who may have behavioral deficits, orthopedic appliances, physical care needs, speech defects, learning disabilities, and other problems which affect their ability to adjust to camp.
• You will be reaching out to children who are often isolated from mainstream society and trying to help them have a wonderful summer camp experience.
