    Do you want to experience the rewards of working with special needs children? Do you want to work outdoors on a beautiful campus with an exceptional special needs professional staff?

    Round Lake Camp, a special needs inclusion program, needs a division head to work with male campers ages 12 to 18.

    Our 140 campers live in bunks with other special needs campers and program with our larger typical camper population at Camp Nah-Jee-Wah and Cedar Lake Camp throughout the day.

    Our special needs campers have learning differences, social communication disorders, and ADHD.

    • Division heads oversee the needs of the campers in their division and supervise the counselors who work with them.
    • They speak to parents about their campers on a weekly basis.
    • They will work with other staff to create a supportive safe environment.
    • Hands on help with personal skills are not required.

    This is a fabulous experience to connect with special needs kids and expand your leadership skills.
