Position Descriptions

Leadership

All summer staff members must be flexible and child-focused. Over the course of the summer, the majority of summer staff will fulfill many duties and perform many camp functions in addition to their designated jobs. The saying may be old but it is true, "many hands make light work". By the end of summer those "many hands" will have given over 600 children a summer to remember and given you a community that will last a lifetime.
