find a meaningful job and the summer of a lifetime
Lions Camp Tatiyee’s mission is to enrich the lives of individuals with special needs by providing a life-changing summer camp experience promoting their emotional health, independence, self-esteem and confidence, entirely free-of-charge.
Camp Tatiyee accomplishes this goal by running 8 one-week summer sessions for different age cohorts of campers experiencing similar special needs. Each session gives your camper a life-changing 6-day, 5-night summer camp experience. Through this programming, we help your camper become more independent, confident, and happy!
camp tatiyee’s greatest asset
Camp Tatiyee hires only the very best staff members to work with campers. Our employees are trained to provide superior care for campers, create and participate in programs, and establish the safe, welcoming feeling of the camp.
We select staff based on their application, references, and an in-depth interview. We are selective when hiring to ensure that each member of the staff will strengthen and contribute to the team.
During the summer season, staff on-site may include people studying or going into the fields of education, medicine, occupational and physical therapies, among others. However, this is not a requirement.
To do this job successfully, applicants must want to be part of a team, work directly in a caring capacity with campers over a two-month period, be honest, and able to put others’ needs before their own.
a meaningful work experience
For 10 days, our staff undergoes rigorous training that includes, but is not limited to, mock fire drills, C.P.R./first aid training, Crisis Intervention Training, missing camper drills, lifting techniques, seizure procedures, dressing, feeding, role-playing, sign language classes, and hours of disability awareness activities. We set high standards for our employees.
Every year, a majority of our staff return. If you are interested in working with individuals with special needs, gaining skills and experience, working hard, and having the time of your life, then please contact us or submit an application to us today.
staff structure
During the summer, the following staff members are on site at all times: executive director, assistant director, registered nurses, program director and program staff, counselors, kitchen staff, and resident manager. All staff lives on site from mid-May until mid-August.
