Summer is growing season at Y camps. It’s where kids grow as much on the inside as they’re growing on the outside. And it’s your opportunity to grow, too!
Imagine going to work knowing that what you do each day has an impact on the life of children in your community. When you work at a Y camp, you’ll be a positive role model and help kids develop a sense of their own value and that of children who are different from them. We want them to learn values, improve their personal relationships, become more independent, and develop into strong leaders. Come be a part of it!
The Y is a powerful association of men, women and children of all ages and from all walks of life joined together by a shared passion: to strengthen the foundations of community. Childhood is a special time and day camp experiences create memories that will last a lifetime. It’s our goal that every child has a positive experience at camp and is empowered to be a healthy, confident, connected and secure child.
POSITIONS AVAILABLE:
Summer Day Camp Leaders -- Under the supervision of the Camp Directors, day camp leaders will be responsible for the safety of campers, and assist in implementation and planning of the camp program for their assigned group. By setting an example, leaders will teach campers the importance of the Y’s core values: honesty, caring, respect and responsibility. They will oversee a group of 8-12 youth or teens, provide leadership of fun activities, supervise during field trips and ensure a fun, safe experience for all participants.
QUALIFICATIONS:
Candidates must be 18 years of age. Previous experience working with children is imperative. If the candidate does not have official experience working with children, an opportunity is given in the application to discuss other educational, volunteer or service related experiences with children.
