If you are an energetic person who loves
being active, the outdoors and working
with children, you should consider working
at camp! The American Camp Association – New
York Section Accredits hundreds of summer
camps throughout the Northeast and helps
to provide the camps with quality staff.
Here are a few of the many benefits to
working at a summer camp!
Make a difference
in the lives of children!
Working at a
summer camp gives you the opportunity to
be a positive role model for campers of
all ages!
Improve your leadership skills
and gain self-confidence!
While helping
a child to learn a new skill (programmatically
or socially), you are sure to improve your
confidence in your own!
Meet people from
around the world!
Most overnight camps,
and some day camps, recruit campers and
hire staff from all over the world. Learn
so much more about other cultures and share
your own!
Spend your summer outdoors!
Working
at a summer camp will allow you to spend
a lot of time enjoying the summer weather!
Playing sports, hiking, swimming – so
many aspects of camp make use of the outdoors!
Try new things!
Many camps allow their
staff to use the program areas during their
time off. Never played tennis? Give it
a try!
Get college credit!
Depending on
your major, you may be able to get college
credit while working at a camp!
Do all
of this while making money!
Not only will
you make a positive impact on the world
and learn so many new things, but you can
also get a pay check at the end of it all!
