About the role

As the Psychosocial Coordinator, you’ll help campers and families feel seen, supported, and prepared for their camp experience. Through compassionate communication, trauma-informed practices, and strong relationships, you’ll help create an environment where every camper can experience belonging, connection, and joy. You’ll partner closely with families, volunteers, and staff to understand each camper’s unique strengths, needs, and goals and help ensure they can fully participate in camp. Your work will span the camper journey—from preparation and planning before camp through support during camp and follow-up afterward.

Your Impact

This role exists to help create the conditions for every camper to safely and meaningfully participate in the camp experience. Using psychosocial assessment, behavioral insight, sound judgment, and a strengths-based approach, you’ll help identify and respond to campers’ mental health, behavioral, emotional, and developmental needs. You’ll collaborate across departments to develop individualized supports and adaptations while balancing the needs of individual campers with the well-being of their cabin groups and the broader camp community.

What You'll Do

• Support campers and families before, during, and after camp by identifying psychosocial, behavioral, emotional, and developmental needs and helping develop individualized support plans.
• Conduct camper psychosocial screenings and contribute to camper placement and clearing processes, including communication and follow-up with families.
• Partner with Camp Operations and other departments to plan and implement adaptations that help campers safely and successfully participate in camp.
• Support proactive and responsive behavior strategies that promote camper safety, emotional well-being, inclusion, and engagement.
• Help lead psychosocial programming and support the effective use of sensory spaces and other resources that promote camper success.
• Train, prepare, and support seasonal staff and volunteers in psychosocial care, Trauma-Informed Care, and FHF’s Behavior Support Model.
• Provide psychosocial expertise during camp emergencies and collaborate with camp leadership and the Psychosocial Team when significant behavioral or emotional concerns arise.
• Communicate thoughtfully with families and staff about relevant psychosocial needs, support strategies, and camper progress.
• Maintain accurate camper and staff information, prepare psychosocial resources and supplies, and contribute to overall camp readiness.
• Participate in team meetings, debriefs, and continuous improvement efforts that strengthen psychosocial safety, care, and the overall camper experience.
• Live on-site and actively support the camp community during all summer and weekend camp sessions.
