Success Leader
Camp Chestermere is hiring 4 individuals, ideally 2 males and 2 females, who will work with campers with special needs. The program is called Helping All Campers Succeed. This is Camp Chestermere’s program for children with special needs where we offer 1:1 and up to 1:3 care for the children in the program. The goal of the program is to integrate the children into regular programming as much as possible. The program is also for children who may require extra care or attention but do not need to be one on one with a leader. The children in the program may be in Day or Overnight Camp. Camper needs could include physical or cognitive needs.
An educational background or experience in working with Children with Special Needs is an asset. This program is fully funded by a grant from FCSS Chestermere and United Way Chestermere. During the months of July and August, staff are here from 3:00 on Sundays through to 7:00 on Fridays. Success Leaders will report to the Success Team Lead, Camp Coordinator and Executive Director and agree to contribute to the ministry efforts of Camp Chestermere.
