Because stuttering affects more boys than girls (about 4:1), we are especially looking for male bunk counselors to join our staff. All staff positions are PAID positions, and the dates are July 28th – August 18th, 2015.

Camp SAY is a 2-week summer camp for kids who stutter and their young family members and friends (ages 8-18) from all around the country, and even the world. Camp SAY 2015 will take place from August 3rd through August 17th, 2015 at Blue Star Camps in Hendersonville, North Carolina. This year we are expecting around 120 campers, and we are looking for dedicated, passionate, patient, hard-working people to join our staff. New staff applicants must have experience working with children to be considered for the bunk counselor position. We ask all staff members to join us for Counselor Orientation a few days before camp starts. If you know of any students who would be interested (and available July 28th – August 18th, 2015), please feel free to pass on this information and encourage them to fill out our application<https://say.campintouch.com/v1/staff/application/app0.aspx>.
