Facilities Support

Camp Korey is more than a camp. It's a place where kids with life-altering medical conditions can just be kids. We believe that all children should be able to experience both the joys of childhood and the profound, life-changing impact of camp. Every year, thousands of campers and family members gather in a community of people with shared experiences to sing, dance, laugh, grow, and discover their potential in a medically safe and adaptable environment. Here, campers with 90+ diagnoses can take a true break from being "patients" and rediscover the joy of being a kid. 

Every day, we make a difference in families' lives.   Our team of year-round and seasonal staff work together to make these joys and impacts a reality. We value the background, skills, and lived experiences of our team members who bring diverse perspectives and representation to our organization.

We are actively interviewing for a Facilities Support person to join our Facilities' team, January through August 2026 to support this season's camps and events.  In this position you will be responsible for helping to maintain our beautiful 200-acre property in Mount Vernon which sets the stage for a magical camp experience. Jan – May this position will be part-time Tuesday through Saturday 20 hour per week.
