Steve & Kate's Camp
Alexandria, VA, US
$20,5-$23 an hour
Full-time
Quick Apply

Location : 2400 Russell Rd, Alexandria, VA 22301 Camp Dates : 6 / 17 - 8 / 16 (additionally, one weekend to set up, one weekend to breakdown, and an orientation date TBD) Camp Hours : 8 : 00 am - 6 : 00 pm (actual shifts will vary) Hourly Wage : $20.

50 - $23.00 At Steve & Kate's, we put radical trust in kids so that they learn to trust themselves. Campers choose minute-to-minute how to spend their time because making decisions today helps to build the self-confidence they’ll need to wrangle unknowns tomorrow.

We value empowering our staff to be their whole authentic selves because everyone in our community needs to feel included! Sound like something you can get behind?

If so, we're looking for team members who are motivated babysitters, teachers, coaches, students, athletes, artists, and anyone ready to play hard and be goofy.

As a Steve & Kate’s staff member, you’ll sharpen your inherent leadership skills, learn some new ones, and collaborate with interesting people, all while immersing yourself in creativity and play.

Job Responsibilities The only small piece of this job is the size of your campers’ shoes. Our youngest campers (ages 4-5) are free to take on camp with self-direction like our older campers, but that doesn’t mean they don’t need some extra TLC.

As the youngest campers' lead counselor, you’ll utilize resources provided by S&K to implement and manage the structure of the camp day, manage a team of support staff, and generally make sure that we are meeting all the baseline needs of our little ones.

Additional Responsibilities Do you appreciate and agree with our self-directed approach for kids? Would sparking up conversations with staff, campers and parents fit in your comfort zone?

If it is out of your comfort zone are you willing to grow in this area? Are you a self-starter excited at the idea of taking ownership of your own mini-program?

Are you comfortable navigating challenging and sometimes sensitive interactions? Are you the type of person who can’t rest until you’ve done everything possible to make someone feel cared for?

Like, if someone you knew was in need, would you do more than send them a thinking of you text? Are you calm under pressure and able to calm those around you?

Do you have the stamina to keep up (literally) with 4-12 yr. olds bursting with energy and creative potential? And, if needed, can you bench press the equivalent of a kindergartner (just kidding can you lift up to 40 lbs)?

Job Requirements : First Aid & CPR certified prior to Day 1 of Camp (some locations may require additional certifications) At least 18 years of age with a high school diploma or GED, and meets one of the following : Have one of the following : A graduate degree in a child-related field An endorsement or bachelor’s degree in a child-related field and one year experience Forty-eight semester hours or 72 quarter hours of college credit and one year of experience Two years of programmatic experience and a bachelor’s degree Three years of programmatic experience and high school degree Endorsement or bachelor’s degree in a child-related field 3 months of programmatic experience and at least one of the following education backgrounds : One year early childhood certificate / at least 30 semester hours Child development credential Teaching diploma from a Montessori organization Six months supervised programmatic experience Powered by JazzHR
