SEASONAL & YEAR-ROUND STAFF NEEDED FOR 2019
Camp Courageous is a year-round recreational and respite
care facility for individuals with disabilities. Campers with
intellectual and physical disabilities, brain injuries, hearing or
visual impairments, autism and other special needs are served.
Working with children and adults with special needs is often a very real challenge.
Campers may need help with personal care including feeding, dressing, and bathroom
needs. Some campers exhibit behavioral challenges. Patience, energy, good judgment
and enthusiasm are important qualifications for a position at Camp Courageous. The
hours are long. An unselfish attitude and an emphasis on teamwork are needed. Staff
are expected to put the campers’ needs before their own. If you possess the necessary
attributes, I invite you to apply for a position at Camp Courageous.
Volunteer positions, internships, and paid positions are available. Volunteers and
Interns can receive an optional stipend of $50.00/week plus room and board.
Paid counselors and activity specialists receive the best employment package around.
Seasonal staff earn $475/week while year-round staff earn $625-675/week. Room
and board are provided which include air-conditioned staff dormitories affording the
staff separate living quarters from the campers. Staff share cabin duty on a rotating
basis. Other benefits include a health insurance plan and one week of paid vacation
for year-round staff. Camp provides a bonus for returning seasonal summer staff and
a monetary incentive for recruiting additional summer staff. Candidates for yearround
positions must have experience with individuals with disabilities. Seasonal
positions are for one or more season.
