Jewish Camper Care Coordinator

Camper Care Coordinator (Jewish Summer Camp)

 

📍 Hudson Valley, NY | June 17 – August 17, 2026 | Housing + Meals Included

A rare opportunity to gain hands-on clinical experience while mentoring the next generation in a vibrant Jewish community.

Camp Young Judaea Sprout Lake is a pluralist Jewish overnight camp for rising 2nd–8th graders rooted in community, care, and connection. We are seeking a Camper Care Coordinator — a compassionate, clinically minded professional who is eager to support children’s emotional well-being while serving as a trusted mentor to both campers and staff.

This role is ideal for candidates pursuing or holding a degree in Social Work (MSW), Mental Health Counseling, or Psychology who want meaningful, real-world experience working with children and adolescents.

 

Why This Role Stands Out

• Apply your clinical training in a dynamic, real-life setting

• Receive mentorship from experienced camp leadership

• Step into a respected role that directly shapes camper and staff support

• Build skills highly relevant to school-based, pediatric, and clinical careers

• Live and work within a supportive Jewish community grounded in shared values

 

What You’ll Do

• Support campers (ages 7–13) through social, emotional, and behavioral challenges

• Partner with leadership to assess concerns and guide thoughtful responses

• Mentor counselors in supporting campers’ mental health needs

• Help develop behavior plans and monitor progress

• Document incidents with professionalism and care

• Serve as a calm, trusted presence within the camp community

 

We’re Looking For Someone Who

• Has experience working with children or teens

• Is emotionally attuned, observant, and proactive

• Thinks clearly in high-pressure situations

• Communicates with warmth and professionalism

• Values collaboration, mentorship, and community

• Feels connected to — or excited to live within — Jewish communal life

If you are looking for a summer that is professionally enriching, mentorship-driven, and rooted in Jewish connection, we would love to meet you.
