CAMP EASTER SEALS VIRGINIA
COUNSELORS NEEDED!
Camp Easter Seals Virginia is located about forty five minutes northwest of Roanoke Virginia in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. The camp offers children and adults with disabilities the opportunity to enjoy fun and challenging activities in a unique and supportive camp atmosphere. To help contribute to this environment we are seeking general counselors for summer employment. General counselors supervise and care for campers' personal needs as well as lead and assist campers with camp activities.
Our campers have a variety of disabilities including autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, and several other physical and mental disabilities. Camp Easter Seals Virginia offers camp sessions for adults and kids/teens. Physical, occupational, and speech therapy camp sessions are also offered for kids/teens. The summer ends with a week for families that have a child with a disability. Counselors come from around the country and world to work at the camp. Many staff have described their experience at camp as “life changing!”
All levels of experience and education welcome to apply.

Summer Study Abroad Scholarships
The US Dept of Education grant in Business/Int’l Education will provide eight students with TWO summer study abroad scholarships:
1) $3,000 in Summer 2009 to focus on intensive foreign language instruction
2) $3,000 in Summer 2010 to complete an internship in the target language/culture
We are calling this program the RIBA program – Radford Int’l Business Ambassadors – and it is an excellent opportunity for a student with an interest in languages who would like to have an internship in an area that connects in some way to the capacity of the US to conduct int’l business in the 21st century. (Meaning…yes, it would be great to have business majors, but a Communications major or a Tourism major or a business minor would be just fine, too. Health Care Administration, Arts Management, Corporate Fitness, Information Technology…we should be able to hit all types of students with this opportunity.)
We have application materials in Cook Hall 108 – You have until Nov 11 to apply.
