Summer Camp Coach

Ascendigo Coaches are our version of camp counselors, but with a focus on supporting and advocating for our participants on the Autism Spectrum. Depending on where you are in the scheduling rotation, you could be helping a participant get ready for his/her day, spending afternoons in arts, crafts, bicycling, music and other activities; and/or going out and participating in the core sports during the day shift with your camper. You will be scheduled each week and paired 1:1 with a camper that is a good fit for your personality, coaching style, and skill set. Coaches will also rotate staffing weekend activities. Coaches help our participants with daily living and social skills, including appropriate coping skills, dining with our participants and assisting in night time hygiene routines and getting to sleep. Coaches will be trained on our core sports and will be assisting Sports Specialists with the implementation of our core sports programs. Coaches also may need to assist with nighttime behaviors and may be on-call for overnight duties.
