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.

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.
