Speech-Language Pathologist at Summer Therapy Camp!
Bay Cliff is seeking licensed speech-language pathologists for a unique experience to provide skilled speech therapy services to children in a residential summer camp setting. Our Children's Summer Therapy Camp runs from June 12 to August 7, 2022.
Founded in 1934, Bay Cliff is one of the oldest and most comprehensive summer therapy programs for children with physical disabilities in the United States. The camp is located on the shores of Lake Superior in Big Bay, Michigan. About 160 children ranging in age from 3 to 17 years are referred to Bay Cliff for physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, instruction for the hearing and visually impaired, and music therapy. Extensive recreation and camping activities provide the children with a well-rounded summer camp experience. Bay Cliff is a place where children learn to communicate better, pour their own milk, dress themselves, maneuver their wheelchair well, and even learn to walk. It’s all about the kids – building self-esteem, gaining independence, and leading a fuller life. Therapy is provided on-one-one, through co-treatments and in group settings. Therapy is also incorporated into the children's daily activities.
Our therapy staff stay on camp for the summer, receiving free room and board, and an opportunity for networking, professional growth, and making a difference in the life of a child!
