The TRIAD Summer Camp provides a unique training experience for adults interested in learning about children and youth with autism. Counselors are responsible for implementing daily social skills lessons and leading their group through camp activities, such as large and small groups, outside games, and crafts. Under the supervision of TRIAD staff, counselors learn skills necessary for implementing effective interventions with children with autism including the camp specific social skills curriculum. As such, practicum hours may be available for psychology, special education, and speech pathology students. Prior experience with children with autism is preferred.
The TRIAD Summer Camp provides a unique volunteer opportunity for teenagers ages 14-18. Junior counselors in the elementary and transition groups help the group counselors by assisting campers with games, activities and art projects. The junior counselors in the adolescent groups participate in activities with the adolescents with autism while serving as peer models of appropriate social and communication behavior.
Thank you for your interest in TRIAD Camp Counselor positions. We are fully staffed for 2009.
