Fulfill your summer by living, working, and playing in the mountains while elevating the spectrum!

Ascendigo’s Summer Camp Team Leads are our version of in-field supervisors. Not only do Team Leads oversee numerous coaches (Ascendigo counselors) and participants, but they also oversee the daily decision-making to help ensure a safe and successful day for all. Each week the Team Lead will be assigned a group (Youth and Teen, or Adult) that consists of participants and coaches. The Team Lead will ensure timely arrival and departures to and from activities, that coaches appropriately support their clients, assist in times of behavioral challenges, and uphold Ascendigo’s high service quality amongst the team. Typically, Team Lead’s also oversee medication administration and are aware of all pertinent health and safety information for each client. Often, coaches need breaks at which point the Team Lead will take over the direct care for the coach. During busy weeks, the Team Lead may also be paired with a participant to act as a 1:1 Coach. Team Leads will make “game time” decisions to best support the Coaches and participants on their team. The salary range is based on relevant experience, education, years at Ascendigo, relevant certifications, and availability.
