The Akron Rotary Camp is looking for staff that want to make a difference in the lives of children with special needs. Our counselors are the people that help make camp so magical, as they spend all of their time making sure our campers are safe, participating in activities, and most importantly having fun. Our counselors spend the most time working directly with our campers and, therefore, have the opportunity to make the biggest impact on them. Our counselor to camper ratio is 1:3 and our staff are expected to participate in, as well as facilitate, all of the activities our campers participate in. Our counselors also become experts in adapting and modifying activities so that everyone, regardless of ability level, is able to participate in the activities. Also, our counselors are responsible for the care and well-being of our campers. This means they may have to help campers with feeding, personal hygiene, as well as managing behaviors. We are seeking people to fill overnight positions with the camp running from Sunday through Friday afternoons. Staff training will be from May 26th to June 6th, and the last day of camp will be August 7. If you're interested in pursuing this opportunity, please contact Kyle Blincow at kyleb@akronvmca.org.
