Pattison's Academy - Helping children with severe and multiple disabilities through education, therapy and interaction.

 

For 2010, we would like to expand our services to include children who are older.  This may mean operating two camps concurrently or offering fewer weeks to each age range.  We are currently considering our staffing options and anticipate the following needs. 

We have VERY ACTIVE high-energy days and applicants must be able to lift 40-50 pounds, maintain a professional and positive attitude at all times, and understand that all children can learn and deserve every opportunity to participate in each activity offered.
