2021 Staff Picture

Come work with us!

For nearly 90 years, Camp Wediko has thoughtfully combined a true summer camp experience with therapy and individual supports, providing a fun-filled seasonal adventure for youth who otherwise wouldn’t have access to such a key developmental experience.

Campers come from all over the country and bring with them a myriad of life experiences, strengths, and challenges. Wediko staff specialize in working with students who present with a wide variety of mental health struggles encompassing emotional regulation, acting-out behaviors, executive functioning and impulsivity issues, and social skills deficits.

Campers live in cabins and spend their days in constant motion, enjoying outdoor activities and participating in periods of literacy, math and science to help them carry social and emotional skills into the classroom. Special events are also planned throughout the summer, including talent shows, themed dinners and more! Click here for an example of what a typical day for campers can look like.
