Counsellor – Exceptionality

At Muskoka Woods, we welcome a diverse range of guests and strive to create a safe, fun environment that builds confidence. The Exceptionality Program allows children and youth with special needs (including Autism Spectrum Disorder) to experience camp with the support they need for a successful week. We provide tailored assistance for each child’s physical, intellectual, social, or behavioural needs and integrate them into camp programming to the extent possible and appropriate, with guidance from our exceptionalities team. The job of an Exceptionality Counsellor is to support and connect with our exceptionality guests. Exceptionality Counsellors provide care to assigned guests through check-ins and one-on-one support, ensuring our guests' needs are not just met, but exceeded. That means being actively involved in their day - joining in on activities, offering encouragement, and lending a hand to our guests for their specific needs. Depending on the number of exceptionality guests on site, they may also be asked to help with other camp responsibilities which changes their weekly schedule. Flexibility and a team mindset are essential! read more
