Imagine that you have only one person you would trust with the well-being and safety of your son, daughter, brother, etc. Now, multiply that one person by 60 and you have the hard working, patient and knowledgeable staff at Camp Allen.
Each year we interview and screen young adults from as far away as Australia and as close as next door, to fill the very important role of care-giver and counselor to each of our campers. The staff bring a diverse and exciting cultural experience to our campers. They have one thing in common that sets them apart from all others; a passion to give 100% and more.
No worries! Our nursing staff are licensed and experienced at keeping the camper's health and safety first and foremost. The nurse resides at the camp and is available 24/7. Our health center is the heart of the camp, air conditioned with a bed for the camper who may not feel well and needs to be under the watchful eye of the nurse. In the rare emergency, two local hospitals are nearby and the Bedford Fire and Ambulance can be here in less than 10 minutes. All of our counselors are trained in First Aid and CPR.
"Camp Allen changes lives. It has changed mine! I cannot imagine another job where I can make a difference in the lives of individuals with disabilities and their families while having as much fun as I do here at Camp Allen. And to mentor young adults from all over the world, many who return to their homes and make a difference in the lives of others...truly a pass it forward experience!" Mary Constance, ED
A special thanks to all of the staff that have shaped the
Camp Allen experience!
