Description For Prospective Staff:
Camp Akeela is an overnight summer camp in Vermont for boys and girls ages 9 - 17. Akeela campers are seeking a fun-filled, traditional camp experience that supports their social growth. Our campers, who are typically described as bright and creative, struggle to make social connections with their peers. Many, but not all, have been diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome or a nonverbal learning disability. Our mission is to provide these campers with an incredible, life-changing summer experience within a well-rounded, traditional camp program. Akeela's small, supportive community helps campers improve their social skills, make friends, gain self-confidence and have fun!
Akeela is not a therapeutic camp. Our counselors are primarily college and graduate school students who choose to join Akeela because they are excited about living, playing, laughing and learning in our camp community. Our key staff are teachers and professionals with a wealth of experience and expertise working with children. They all come to camp with a lot of energy, a serious dedication to working with kids, a willingness to learn and a great sense of humor!
