Career Building Summer Camp Positions Coffee Chat
Camp Akeela is a co-ed overnight camp that helps campers be themselves & improve their social skills. Camps are completing grades 3-10 and are excited about a traditional camp experience that supports their social growth. Many of their campers have a diagnosis of Asperger’s or a similar ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) profile. Others may have ADD/ADHD or a social-based learning difference such as NLD. While not all campers have a diagnosis, they all share a desire to be part of a community that “gets” them and where they can meet friends with similar outlooks and experiences.
Working at a summer camp is very fun, AND it is also very professionally fulfilling, regardless of your career endeavors. Camp counselors develop vital skills employers seek from their staff candidates: resilience, collaboration, critical thinking, effective communication, and more.
Camp Akeela enhances this experience for those seeking roles in working with neurodivergent youth after graduation.
