Double H Ranch - A Hole in the Wall Camp

The Double H Ranch, founded by Paul Newman and Charlie Wood in 1992 and situated on the shore of Lake Vanare in Lake Luzerne, NY, provides year-round fun and emotional support to children ages 6-16 facing life-threatening and chronic illnesses.  All campers attend free of charge, and are at all times under the loving care of a competent staff of doctors and nurses, and a caring and well-trained group of camp counselors.

We are seeking the following for summer 2007:

AUDIO/VISUAL PROGRAM SPECIALIST with a background in computers, sound-recording, photography/video recording to work with our campers in creating music, videos, and slideshows each week at camp.

OUTDOOR EXTREME PROGRAM SPECIALIST with a background in camping, hiking, and outdoor education.  You will have the opportunity to create programs and activities for children involving aspects of our surroundings in the Adirondacks, and including overnight camping trips for our older campers. 

LIFEGUARDS & AQUATICS DIRECTOR with lifeguarding certification (WSI preferred if possible) who will run our aquatics programs.  We have an indoor & outdoor pool and a waterfront area for boating and fishing which you will be responsible to run and maintain throughout the summer.

DISCOVERY HANDS-ON SCIENCE PROGRAM SPECIALIST with a background in science, environmental studies, or just a general enthusiasm for exploring different types of hands-on activities with our campers.  This role is given much creative flexibility!

For all of these positions, you will also acclimate into a cabin as a counselor when you are not in your program area.  The best way to describe this is as more of a "life experience" than a job, and is an amazing opportunity to make a difference in the life of a special needs child.

Camp/employment dates run from June 10th to August 24th.  The position is full-time residential.  Room and board is included, and the salary is approx. $300 per week.
