SUMMER DAY CAMP STAFF:
Do you work and play hard? Want to have a rewarding but fun job
this summer? We are looking for a few good balancing acts! Are
you a leader that can balance a fun-filled summer and leading
some great kids? We are searching for counselors for the YMCA
summer day camp - Camp Kimsuso, who can balance long, hectic
days with the responsibility of making a difference in children’s lives.
As a counselor, you are always on stage, helping campers, setting
an example, teaching, and playing games. Our campers have a
busy schedule of activities throughout long summer days, and you’ll
need to be on top of it, from planning to making sure the campers
are where they need to be to leading activities. You can bring your
own special talent, whether it’s swimming, crafts, sports, music,
dancing, etc. You’ll need a desire to teach others and the energy
and attention to detail necessary to make a busy camp schedule
work. We’ll teach you everything else you need to know. You’ll work with some of the most dedicated and creative people on the planet,
and the friendships you’ll make with the other counselors and camp leaders will last a lifetime.
Here’s what we expect from our top counselors:
1. Our best counselors make a difference in the lives of their campers, creating a unique relationship with each camper. They get to
know each new group of campers quickly, ensuring each camper’s growth, safety, and development during camp. And they have FUN!!!
2. Participate 100 percent, 100 percent of the time. There isn’t a lot of down time at camp. As a counselor, you are always on stage,
helping campers, being an example, teaching, and playing games. It’s up to you to make sure everyone has a good time. You’ll make
the games interesting by joining in and knowing that the sidelines are no place for a great camp counselor.
3. Making it happen. Our campers have a full schedule of activities throughout long summer days, and you’re on top of it, planning to
make sure the campers are where they need to be and doing what they want to be doing. When things change, such as the weather or
the mood of your campers, you’re always one step ahead with creative ideas for alternate activities.
4. The team is tops. You have the opportunity to work with great children, great counselors and a staff that is dedicated to the camp’s
success, every hour of every day of the week. You’ll know when to get help from other counselors or administration. You’ll know about
all the resources available to you and your campers, and you’ll use them to create a unique experience.
5. It’s your camp. You feel like you own it, every activity and every camper. The reason campers will love you and talk to you months
later is that you modeled the camp’s values. You were the one each camper looked up to during camp.
6. Calm, cool, and collected, even when you’re not by the pool. During hot summer days, through hectic schedules, and with all those
campers and responsibilities, you keep your cool and pay close attention to how your campers are managing the stress of different
activities, weather, meeting new people, and the arrangements of camp. You know the one thing that matters most is the campers,
safety, spiritually, mentally and physically.
If you’re up to the challenge, want to lead instead of follow, and really want to make a difference in the lives of dozens of children this
year, we’ll help you succeed. It’s exhilarating, exhausting, and challenging, but the rewards are out of this world.
