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.

As a Ramapo staff member, you will develop the skills you need to succeed with a broad range of young people. You will learn to understand behavior as communication.
