Why Work at Green Cove

At Green Cove, our staff are the essential ingredient to the magic of camp. Our Leadership Team is made up of teachers, psychologists, social workers and other kid experts. They believe that when neurodivergent children are in a safe and secure environment, they will soar. Our counselors are college and graduate students who love working with children and helping them develop social skills. They are silly, creative, and empathic. Green Cove staff do not just work at camp…they LIVE camp.

As part of Green Cove’s inaugural summer, our staff have the opportunity to help shape this unique camp community. They will be a part of a team that is committed to building and creating a joyous experience for every camper.  Staff will not be providing therapy to our campers, but rather serve as “social coaches” to campers in real time, supporting them as they navigate friendships and the camp day.

We know this will be an unforgettable summer where staff will deepen their understanding of children through hands-on experience; develop a wide-range of skills that will translate into life and a career path; build friendships with fellow staff members; and gain a sense of fulfillment knowing the positive impact they made on others.
