Thanks for considering being a counselor at EC Camp 2026 Glow. EC Camp is a camp designed for those with intellectual and developmental disabilities of all ages. It's a rewarding experience for everyone who attends.
Camp requires a lot of money to run. It costs approximately $750 per camper to cover the cost of crafts, snacks, tshirts, and most importantly, the camper/counselor partnership. Our camp is unique in that we offer a 1-1 or 2-1 system of camper/counselor pairing that allows for a more personal experience. Each of our campers pays $425 dollars to attend, as this is the maximum many of our campers can afford.
There is a $50 registration fee for all counselors. Scholarship opportunities are available if this is a hardship.
This application must be completed and submitted before July 1st or you will not be guaranteed a t-shirt. Counselors should arrive Sunday July 26th at 4:30 PM for move in, dinner, and then training. Camp is over at 10:30 AM (or whenever your camper is picked up) on Friday, July 31st.
Counselors must be in good physical health, be able to assist campers with mobility issues, and be able to climb on to a top bunk at night to sleep.
