Tell us about a project or accomplishment in which you are proud.* It can be related to school, work or volunteer experience. Try to select something that shows us your ability to work with others and commit yourself to a task.
Tell us about your child experience?* Not having experience working with children is not a disqualifier for this position. We always say that we can train someone in the necessary ‘hard skills’ of our camp experience (leading a hike, song, etc.) but the ‘soft skills’ of understanding the needs of children, and being able to work with other staff to help identify those needs, and support them as they grow – can’t be taught in a few weeks of staff training.
Some things that make us different from other camps…* – We are inclusive : We include campers of all abilities. Our staff receive training
on how to work with campers with disabilities or who are neurodivergent.
– Choice : Campers choose parts of their own schedules.
– Nature : We love getting outside with kids.
– We Play ! We have actual program time devoted to good old fashioned play. Counselors facilitate play to ensure that play is inclusive and safe.
– We are non-competitive : You won’t see color wars, traditional sports with teams and balls, certificates of achievement or anything else like that. We do not
offer extrinsic rewards of any type.
– Which of the things that make us different do you identify with the most? Why?
