Job Descriptions
EVERYONE LENDS A HELPING HAND
At camp, everyone does a little bit of everything. Your role will often include unexpected and rewarding tasks—whether it’s helping a child take responsibility for their choices or donning a silly costume and performing an off-the-cuff presentation in front of the entire camp.
You’ll have the chance to inspire and celebrate children as they grow, cheering them on as they try new things and instilling positive belief systems that will last a lifetime. You will teach them about their own powers and capabilities and learn new, invaluable insights about yourself along the way.
