Work at Camp

Work at Camp

Join a nationally recognized organization at the intersection of healthcare, education, and youth development.

At The Barton Center for Diabetes Education, working at camp is more than a summer job—it’s a hands-on, career-connected learning experience that builds leadership, professional skills, and a deep sense of purpose.

Every role—whether full-time, seasonal, or volunteer—supports children and families living with Type 1 diabetes while also providing meaningful opportunities to explore careers, build transferable skills, and learn through real-world practice in a dynamic, mission-driven environment.

 

Why Work at Barton?

Barton is a learning-rich workplace where staff and volunteers gain experience across:

• Healthcare & medical support
• Education, mentoring, and youth development
• Program design and facilitation
• Leadership, teamwork, and communication
• Operations, logistics, and nonprofit management

Our camps and programs bring together supportive adults, young leaders, and professionals-in-training who work side by side to create safe, empowering, and transformative experiences for youth. Many of our staff use their Barton experience as a stepping stone into careers in healthcare, education, social work, public health, nonprofit leadership, and beyond.

 

A Supportive Learning Environment

We are intentional about creating a workplace that supports learning, growth, confidence-building, and mentorship. Staff receive training, coaching, and hands-on responsibility, with opportunities to:

• Practice leadership in real-world settings
• Build confidence working with youth and families

• Learn alongside experienced clinicians, educators, and program leaders

Whether you are exploring a future career, gaining experience alongside your studies, or looking to contribute your expertise in a meaningful way, Barton offers an environment where your work matters, and your growth does too.
