Based on our 250-acre campus in Rhinebeck, New York, Camp Ramapo is Ramapo for Children’s residential summer camp that serves young people with a diverse set of needs and abilities.

Each summer, we hire students and new professionals from around the world to work as counselors, mentors, instructors and caregivers for our residential campers.

Additionally, we offer an on-site, nationally-accredited college course (Fieldwork in Special Education ) of up to 6 credits as well as ongoing training and coaching.

Special Benefits

This job includes room and board, meals, college credit, and hands-on experience.

We do ask you to exemplify the following: patience, commitment, a readiness to learn, and a willingness to be of service to others.
