The Town of Oyster Bay is hiring counselors for the summer GAP program, a day camp designed for developmentally disabled children and young adults from ages 5 to 21.
The camp runs from June 29 to Aug. 7 at two locations – Marjorie Post Park in Massapequa and Syosset-Woodbury Park in Woodbury.
“The Town’s GAP Program provides a unique social-recreational experience for developmentally disabled individuals, encouraging socialization in a group setting,” Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino said. “With the support and encouragement of our excellent staff, participants develop friendships that extend well beyond the program.”
“By becoming a counselor for the Town’s GAP program, you’ll help to create a supportive and empowering environment where every camper can shine,” Oyster Bay Town Council Member Andrew Monteleone said. “Join us this summer to build lasting connections, provide unforgettable experiences, and make a difference; apply today!”
