Photographer/Videographer/Blogger

About Us

For over 40 years, Camp Amicus has provided impactful and life-changing camp experiences for children, teens, and youth with Learning Disabilities, ADHD, and related diagnoses. It is a place where participants are seen and understood for who they are, with individual supports in place for each camper to find understanding, build confidence, and maximize their potential. All programs at Amicus are based on current evidence-based and peer-reviewed models and interventions.

About You

Camp Amicus is not only a place for our campers to grow but for our staff to grow too We are passionate about helping staff develop new skills and find their passions within their role at Camp Amicus. Amicus staff are defined by their desire to grow, take responsibility for any missteps (we all make mistakes), are flexible when changes happen, communicate with others clearly and honestly, and are self-starters. Amicus is not limited to folks with a background working with children or camp/recreation programs. We appreciate having staff with little or no experience joining our team who want to learn as they often provide new perspectives on our programs, policies, and how Amicus can be successful.
