About the role
Work at Camp
Join a nationally recognized organization at the intersection of healthcare, education, and youth development.

Every role—whether full-time, seasonal, or volunteer—supports children and families living with Type 1 diabetes while also providing meaningful opportunities to explore careers, build transferable skills, and learn through real-world practice in a dynamic, mission-driven environment.
