Organization: Fiver Children's Foundation - Camp Fiver

Positions: Cabin Counselor

Dates of Position: June 22- August 22, 2008

The Fiver Children's Foundation is a comprehensive youth development organization that partners year-round with community based organizations and schools to develop life skills and empower children to become positive members of their communities. With a tuition-free summer camp as its core activity, Fiver provides a 10-year support program to children and families from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.  

Located in beautiful upstate New York , Camp Fiver is a four hour trip from New York City and is 45 minutes southeast of Syracuse . Truly a “home away from home,” Camp Fiver 's 129-acre refuge includes a lake, a river, woodlands, a learning center, dining hall, horse barn and more. Counselors live at Camp Fiver for all four two-week sessions including one week of training prior to camp.

“Just because you have a campsite, counselors and campers doesn't mean that you have a camp. A true camp is one in which everyone can work together to help one another achieve their personal goals. Camp Fiver is not only a true camp; it is also a family.”
