New Brunswick, United States Sunrise Day Camp (Camp for children with cancer & siblings) Full time

**Job description**

**Sunrise Day Camp - Staten Island**, for children ages 3 1/2 - 16, is the only dedicated full summer day camp in the world for **children with cancer and their siblings**. It is a camp designed to meet the emotional, social, recreational and physical needs of these children while allowing them to enjoy the comforts and safety of their own homes at night.

Sunrise Day Camp offers a full, multi-week summer activity program plus year
- round camp-like programs. These additional programs take place at our campgrounds and other locations that provide exclusive use of their facilities.

Best of all, Sunrise Day Camp is offered **free** **of charge** to all children being treated for cancer and their siblings on a non-sectarian basis. By raising the needed funds from outside sources instead of charging the parents, we can help to alleviate some of the costs, and the related stress, that parents incur caring for a sick child throughout the year.

Sunrise Day Camp is actively hiring individuals aged 16 years and older to take part in a magical summer experience for our campers. We are looking for individuals who are mature, responsible, energetic, and excited to make a tremendous impact in the lives of our children. Sunrise Day Camp hires individuals as counselors, supervisors, and specialists. **Our specialty areas include sports, art, music, drama, dance**, and many other areas Our staff works with children between the ages of 3 1/2 and 16 for up to seven weeks. Staff positions commonly involve being with children for the full length of the camp day, from camper arrival at 8:30 in the morning until 4:00 in the afternoon. Because our camper population may have greater emotional and physical needs, and because staff stays in close proximity with the campers, the experience is demanding. It is critical that staff members are attentive to children, their individual needs and concerns, and demonstrate a willingness to do more than his or her share. **Transportation can be provided.**

This year's camp season runs from Monday, July 1st to Friday, August 16th, 2024. There are mandatory orientations/trainings throughout the month of June (dates TBD).

**Responsibilities**
- Plan activities for groups of campers
- Create weekly or daily schedules taking into account children’s age, groups, and interests
- Lead recreational and educational activities
- Escort and oversee children
- Educate campers through games and explorations
- Set up and maintain equipment
