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.
