Disability Camp roles focus on providing specialized support and accommodations for individuals with disabilities, requiring specific training. Camp Counselors typically work in broader camp settings, with general responsibilities and less specialized credentials. The key difference lies in the focus on disability support versus general camp supervision.

What are some common challenges faced by staff at a disability camp, and how are they typically addressed?

Staff at disability camps often encounter challenges such as adapting activities to accommodate diverse abilities, managing medical or behavioral needs, and ensuring effective communication with campers who may have varying levels of verbal or nonverbal skills. These challenges are typically addressed through comprehensive staff training, close collaboration with healthcare professionals, and the use of adaptive equipment and communication tools. Teamwork and open communication among staff members are essential, and there is usually strong support from supervisors to ensure that both staff and campers have a safe, enriching experience.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a disability camp counselor, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Disability Camp Counselor, you generally need experience working with individuals with disabilities, knowledge of adaptive recreation, and relevant certifications such as CPR/First Aid. Familiarity with assistive devices, communication tools, and safety protocols is often required. Exceptional patience, empathy, and strong teamwork skills help counselors support campers’ unique needs and foster an inclusive environment. These skills and qualifications are vital to ensure camper safety, promote positive experiences, and create a supportive, accessible camp community.

What is a disability camp?

A disability camp is a specialized camp designed to provide recreational, educational, and therapeutic activities for children or adults with physical, intellectual, or developmental disabilities. These camps offer a supportive environment with trained staff, accessible facilities, and tailored programs that accommodate various needs. Participants can enjoy activities like arts and crafts, sports, music, and social events, often with a focus on building confidence, independence, and social skills. Disability camps may be day camps or overnight camps, and they often collaborate with families and caregivers to ensure a positive experience. These camps play a crucial role in providing inclusive opportunities and fostering a sense of community for people with disabilities.

At Steve & Kate's, we put radical trust in kids so that they learn to trust themselves. Campers choose minute-to-minute how to spend their time because making decisions today helps to build the self-confidence they’ll need to wrangle unknowns tomorrow. We value empowering our staff to be their whole authentic selves because everyone in our community needs to feel included!  Sound like something you can get behind? If so, we're looking for team members who are motivated babysitters, teachers, coaches, students, athletes, artists, and anyone ready to play hard and be goofy. As a Steve & Kate’s staff member, you’ll sharpen your inherent leadership skills, learn some new ones, and collaborate with interesting people, all while immersing yourself in creativity and play.

Job Responsibilities

Staff members will be responsible for facilitating activities, making connections, and monitoring safety and wellness.  Some staff members will create and/or oversee activity spaces in which campers will self-select activities, while other staff will work in rotating support roles throughout camp.  The best way to find out what your specific responsibilities would be is to speak with your local director, but activities include sewing, stop-motion animation, maker space, performing arts, arts and crafts, lounging, recreation, and so much more!

How do you know if you’re the right candidate? 

  • Does the idea of guiding kids while they make decisions for themselves excite you?
  • Are you calm under pressure and able to calm those around you?
  • Are you comfortable leading groups of kids on your own while still collaborating with a team?
  • Do you have the stamina to keep up (literally) with 4-12 year old’s bursting with energy and creative potential? And, can you bench press a kindergartener (just kidding -- can you lift up to 40 pounds)?
  • Are you passionate about sharing your knowledge & learning something new (even if a third grade is doing the teaching)?

Job Requirements

  • At least 16 years of age 
  • Minimum of 2 months experience working with camp–age children, with 1 year preferred, in either a professional, personal or volunteer setting. 
  • First Aid & CPR certified prior to Day 1 of Camp (some locations may require additional certifications)

  • You may be asked to chaperone campers on an off-site Field Trip where locations demand.
