Camp Baker at Judge Baker Children's Center - UG Summer Training Positions

Camp Baker at Judge Baker Children’s Center currently has eighteen undergraduate-level summer training positions available. Camp Baker is a therapeutic summer program based off of the Summer Treatment Program (STP) and is specifically designed for 6-12 year old children with ADHD. The STP has positive effects on the serious behavioral, social, and academic difficulties exhibited by children diagnosed with ADHD.
 
Summer trainees at Camp Baker will implement the treatment program in a camp setting for children with ADHD. They will receive extensive training and experience implementing the research-based intervention. Students with STP experience are often highly sought-after in graduate training programs in clinical psychology, social work, medicine, and education. Previous trainees within Camp Baker have gone in to successful careers in all of these fields. 

Camp Baker is currently accepting applications for two roles: 1) Undergraduate Counselor and 2) Teaching Assistant. Please visit our website for detailed job descriptions: https://jbcc.harvard.edu/employment-opportunities-sei. We believe students from the Indiana University Bloomington Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences would make strong candidates for these positions.  

All aspects of the training program are supervised by a licensed clinical psychologist. Trainees typically gain over 200 hours of experience providing treatment directly to children. Opportunities for participating in behavioral parent training are also available. 

Trainees complete a week-long training prior to the start of treatment and receive ongoing supervision. Training begins Monday, July 1, 2019 with the July 4^th holiday off.
