Jameson Camp serves youth between the ages of 7 and 17 who could benefit from a summer camp experience. Many of our campers are referred for minor social and emotional needs ranging from low self-esteem and minor behavior problems to needing a positive role model or a break from a chaotic home life. If you think you would be the right type of person to provide a fun and positive experience for children of all ages and backgrounds, then consider one of the positions on the following list and help make a difference.
