Paid Position: Summer Camp Counselor with Diabetes and/or Insulin Pump Experience — Summer 2013

Background:
We are a private, residential children’s camp in Maine and this year will have a 14 year-old camper (female), and 15 year-old camper (male) who each wear an insulin pump to manage their diabetes. Both campers will be attending Camp Laurel for the seven week season.  The camp is a leading camp in the U.S. – however, it is not a diabetes camp. We are currently looking for a full-time male and full-time female who can serve as a general counselor in these camper’s cabins at camp.

The position runs from mid-June through late August (including a one week Staff Orientation.)

Both campers are very active and social. They test blood glucose levels frequently to maintain activity level and keep good control.

Ideal Candidate:
The ideal candidate must be at least 19 years old, hardworking, and extremely responsible. The person must enjoy working with kids and have a desire to work at a summer camp. The person must have knowledge of diabetes and how to manage it.  A candidate that already wears an insulin pump would be ideal (Medtronic/Minimed, Animas, Omnipod, Disetronic, or any leading brand). It is not a mandatory requirement for the candidate to be a pump user. For example, we will consider a candidate whose regimen includes frequent injections or a candidate with a sibling that has diabetes.
