While working at ASNC Summer Camp is a lot of fun, it is also very demanding. You will be asked to work long hours and the demands of the job will leave you mentally and physically exhausted at times. However, the satisfaction in knowing that you have improved the quality of another person s life is tremendous. By the end of the summer you will find you are stronger, more patient, more confident, and more compassionate than the day you arrived. It is very important to us at the ASNC Summer Camp Program that our staff are well-trained and receive proper support.
All new staff attend a week of training given prior to the start of camp.
Staff attend sessions about autism and strategies in working with the individuals we serve, specific to the camp environment, as well as having the opportunity for supervised hands-on training. Our trainers are professionals who have extensive experience and knowledge in the field of autism. My summer has just been one fantastic ride. I have learned unimaginable things about people and myself. I look at life in a whole new way.
