Positions
Cabin Counselor: Counselors are with the campers essentially 24/7. Counselors are housed with the campers and responsible to provide leadership and guidance to them, all while having lots of fun and, dare we say, be a little bit goofy.
Medical: Must be a licensed Nurse or Physician in the State of Massachusetts. Doctors, nurses & PAs can all play a part in overseeing our campers' and staff' medical care. Pediatric Oncology experience preferred.
Program Area Director: Work throughout the year planning all the fun and magic that happens during the week at camp! These require you to work in conjunction with the Camp Director to develop your specific program, order supplies, and work with your other volunteers to set up and run each of your camper sessions. Most program areas take place at least three times a day.
Program Area Volunteers: Positions in the program areas are available on both a full and part-time basis. Work side by side with your director in making the magic happen at camp. You’ll be guiding and encouraging the campers to be actively engaged and complete the activities throughout the day.
Photographers & Videographers: There are always great moments to capture from breakfast to the end of the evening’s event. You'll work with our staff to coordinate daily postings to our social media pages and oversee the compilation of the week’s images and video into our end of week multi-media presentation to share with everyone.
Support Staff: If you are a go with the flow and flexible kind of volunteer we need you! You might be asked to help the counselors the program area staff or work with our special visitors.
