Job Description

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. Some of our campers are on the Autism Spectrum, while others require greater support due to trauma, mental health challenges, or other disabilities. Each summer, we hire students and new professionals from around the world to work as counselors, mentors, instructors and caregivers for our residential campers.

 

A summer at Ramapo acts as an internship experience for many of our staff. We are happy to work with students to fulfill the internship requirements of your specific program, including hours and supervision. 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. Many of our staff go on to pursue careers in the fields of Education, Psychology, Social Work, and Human Services with the foundations of learning they gained at Ramapo. 

Special Benefits

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

Requirements

Many counselors are students and emerging professionals in the fields of Psychology, Social Work, Special Education, and related fields, but no previous experience in this type of work is necessary. We do ask you to exemplify the following: patience, commitment, a readiness to learn, and a willingness to be of service to others.

Hours per week: 40+

  • Free room and board on our 250-acre campus plus summer stipend and travel reimbursement 
  • Up to six credits through an on-site college course, “Fieldwork in Special Education”

Ramapo for Children takes camper and staff health seriously. Our safety protocols will continue to be guided by recommendations from the CDC and our local Department of Health. Ramapo will remain a place for campers and staff to learn and grow in a safe environment.
