Job Responsibilities
As a Substitute Staff member, you’ll seamlessly step into camp on an as-needed basis when our full-time staff are unavailable, or we have a spike in attendance increasing our staffing needs.
While your schedule will vary, the responsibilities of a Sub look much the same as our full-time staff. Staff members will be responsible for facilitating activities, making connections, and monitoring safety and wellness.
Some staff members will create and / or oversee activity spaces in which campers will self-select activities, while other staff will work in rotating support roles throughout camp.
The best way to find out what your specific responsibilities would be is to speak with your local director, but activities include sewing, stop-motion animation, maker space, performing arts, arts and crafts, lounging, recreation, and so much more!
Additional Responsibilities :
- Actively supervising campers
- Maintaining an organized and approachable activity space
- Ensure compliance with Camp Policies
- Reporting & Recording details of notable concerns or incidents, and of injuries to campers, other staff members, or self
- Keeping track and being aware of camper allergies and dietary restrictions
- adding daily updates and photos to campers’ profiles

- Does the idea of guiding kids while they make decisions for themselves excite you?
- Are you calm under pressure and able to calm those around you?
- Are you comfortable leading groups of kids on your own while still collaborating with a team?
- Do you have the stamina to keep up (literally) with 4-12 year old’s bursting with energy and creative potential? And, can you bench press a kindergartener (just kidding can you lift up to 40lbs)?
- Are you passionate about sharing your knowledge & learning something new (even if a third grade is doing the teaching)?
Job Requirements :
- At least 18 years of age with a high school diploma or GED required
- Minimum of 2 months experience working with camp age children, with 1 year preferred, in either a professional, personal or volunteer setting.
