Camp Akeela is where quirky campers thrive!
Assistant Director and Wisconsin On-site Director David Baker will be on campus to talk about summer counseling positions with Camp Akeela in Wisconsin and Vermont. Join David for an info session from 10:30 to 11 a.m. on Nov. 7 in the Warch Campus Center, Kraemer Room.
Camp Akeela is a camp for kids that may need a little extra social support. Many campers have a diagnosis of high-functioning autism and other nonverbal learning disabilities. Some campers, however, have no diagnosis at all and just need extra support in the areas of making and sustaining friends.
Camp Akeela will be hosting students throughout the summer of 2017 on the Lawrence University campus. Camp counselors will receive free housing throughout their experience.
