Camp Courage furnishes room, board and bed linens. Specialized personnel, such as speech clinicians, certain administrators and nurses are reimbursed at a level appropriate to their professional training. Some season-end scholarships are available to a number of the counseling staff. In the unit for campers with physical disabilities, personal care of campers such as dressing, feeding and toileting is one major area of responsibility. Recreation planning is another.
Work is the name of the game.
Speech Camp staff are responsible for reinforcing camper language goals, leading fun and educational camp activities, and behavior management. Camp Courage is a residential facility and staff members live on the camp property. Days off are arranged on the basis of one day per week and are taken weekly or every two weeks, according to unit placement. Staff members are required to stay on camp property at all times with the exception of their days off or nights out. Staff training for Courage North begins in early June.
