OVERVIEW:
Who says learning and growing your skills professionally can’t be fun? You have found the perfect summer job, that is pure fun, better than Disneyland as campers will tell you.
Mt. Hood Kiwanis Camp exists to empower children and adults with developmental disabilities through equitable access to the outdoors and recreation. The Camp’s primary program is Summer Camp, a residential sleep-away camp occurring from June to August and serving over 500 individuals with developmental, cognitive, and physical disabilities at our 22-acre campsite on the slopes of Mt. Hood.

The person who accepts this position must be flexible, be able to support a team, can be social, and be surrounded by the camp family 24/7.

You will be immersed in a hands-on learning environment with guidance and room to set goals to grow personally and professionally.
