Job Summary

Aspire Adventure Camp serves 100 participants aged 5-13 who have the cognitive capacity for solid peer connections but who lack the understanding and skill set to form those connections. The summer program is an immersive experience in which campers are placed into well-matched groups, with participant-to-staff ratios no greater than 3:1. Participants engage in outdoor education activities, such as hiking and fishing, theme-based curriculum, such as art or recreation, and skill building lessons to support in the development of social skills, stress management strategies, and self-awareness.
Group Leaders are responsible for supervising a group of 4-7 participants while at camp, and for leading them in a variety of outdoor and indoor age-appropriate activities. Group Leaders are responsible for applying social support and behavior management techniques to help campers achieve individual and group goals; guiding their campers to participate in groups led by other professionals (ex. music specialist, art specialist, etc.); and for supporting and mentoring the Assistant Group Leader assigned to work with them.
