Easter Seals camp staff are a group of dedicated individuals that come together with one common goal – giving campers the best week of their summer! Staff gain a vast amount of experience as we provide a 3:1 camper to staff ratio, which is significantly larger than the 8:1 or 10:1 that you’d find at other sleep-over summer camps.
You’ll also find the impact of working with Easter Seals goes beyond one summer. Staff go on to be advocates for persons with diverse abilities, health care workers, doctors and teachers. Life-long friendships and careers are born.

“Working at camp has been, without a doubt, the best job I’ve ever had! I couldn’t believe I was actually getting paid to spend my summer on a lake, hanging out with amazing campers, having shaving-cream fights and dance parties, laughing and singing, roasting s’mores around a campfire, and making lifelong friends. One of the great parts of camp is that the accepting and supportive community that we build for campers extends to staff, so you are totally free to just be yourself and have more fun than you could ever imagine!”
