  • Northern Suburban Special Recreation Association (NSSRA)
  • Highland Park, IL

Job Description

At NSSRA, we believe that everyone deserves the chance to play. Formed in 1970 with that goal in mind, we became the first Special Recreation Association in the country, offering programs and services for children, teens, and adults with disabilities. We are similar to a park district; however, we only serve residents in our partner communities with special needs.

Over fifty years later, we serve approximately 1,800 individuals throughout the year in the northern suburbs of Chicago. We're all about creating an environment of belonging through play, and we want you to be a part of our team!

ABOUT THE JOB

As a Camp Counselor at NSSRA, you will work with individuals of varying ages and disabilities, provide hands-on support, and implement activities including sports, games, swimming, arts, outdoor activities, leisure, community outings, and more. Camp Counselors may work in ratios of 1:1, 1:2, or 1:3 depending on participant needs. This role is an excellent opportunity to develop your professional skills, build meaningful relationships and make a significant impact. Additionally, NSSRA provides Inclusion services for individuals with disabilities participating in Summer Camp Programs at our partnering agencies. Our Inclusion services cover all support aspects, including hands-on assistance and implementing adaptions to activities to ensure full participation and inclusivity.

In this role, you will be responsible for the following tasks:
  • Actively engage and supervise individuals with disabilities.
  • Ensure the safety of participants during summer recreation programs, transportation, transition times, etc.
  • Communicate professionally and consistently with participants, parents, fellow staff, and the public when needed.
  • Submit timely reports, evaluations, and time sheets, maintaining accurate and complete records.
  • Fulfill other duties as assigned.
ABOUT YOU
  • To be a Camp Counselor, you must be 16 years of age or older.
  • No experience is necessary, but a desire to learn and grow as a professional and be a team player is required. Paid training is provided for all our employees.
We work hard to provide the best possible experience for individuals participating in our programs, so we are looking for candidates who are as highly motivated, enthusiastic, and professional as we are. If you're ready to earn a competitive wage doing something meaningful for the summer, we want to hear from you!


THE FINE PRINT
