CAMP HOBÉ JOB DESCRIPTION

Executive Director

The Organization

Camp Hobé provides psychosocial support for children with cancer and similar conditions and their siblings, offering summer camps and family outings. Our mission is to create an atmosphere that enhances self-esteem, fosters independence and friendships, and creates a feeling of belonging. Camp Hobé serves children, teens, and families from the Intermountain area (Utah, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Colorado and Wyoming). Camp Hobé annually serves approximately 300 children and teens during its summer camps, which are currently held in Tooele County, Utah. Camp Hobé campers, ages 4-19, are currently undergoing immunosuppressive therapy (chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunosuppressives), are within three years of their final immunosuppressive treatment, or are the sibling of a child in the treatment window. Camp Hobé is a place where children and teens can “just be kids” and escape the grown-up realities they face everyday.
