Summer Paid job working with economically disadvantaged Maine youth in an amazing natural setting!<\/p>\n
Camp Susan Curtis is a non-profit overnight camp in Maine that has been serving economically disadvantaged youth in Maine for 40 years (most kids attend free and are referred by school counselors).<\/p>\n
The pay is $2300-$2800 for 9 weeks, plus room, board and more fun than you can stand!\u00a0 (I believe you can also use summer work-study if you have it).<\/p>\n
Their programming is holistic and continues into the school year and into the teen years.<\/p>\n
The camp is located about 1.5 hours from Portland, Maine on the edge of the White Mountain National Forest.\u00a0 The camp is the only development on the lake and has a ropes course, theatre, freshwater swimming, a hiking\/canoeing program and more (is also ACA Accredited.)<\/p>\n

Personal Note: This is the camp I attended as a camper in 1974 and later was a counselor, trip director, asst waterfront director, among other roles, for 7 summers.\u00a0 I still go back to visit often and the camp itself is amazing but the current camp director is wonderful \u2013 thoughtful, visionary, relaxed.\u00a0 If I could go back and work, I would.\u00a0 They just posted that they are full for campers this summer but their staffing applications are really low.<\/p>\n
