Summer Camp Jobs
By Jimmy Sturo
Tip!
However, there are quieter children who love doing indoor work like
drawing and arts; so send such children to summer camps placing more
emphasis to indoor activities.
If you love kids and are looking for something
different to do this summer, why not get a summer camp job?
You would be able to meet new people, interact
with children, spend the summer days productively, have fun, and earn
some cash. |

Summer Camp Job
If you get the job, you will serve as
a ‘role model' who assists and motivates campers while they are
learning new skills, and help them deal with new issues or ideas. You
may also need to provide personal care, which includes assisting some
campers with dressing or feeding.
If you love kids and have an
‘outdoorsy' personality, you can be a camp facilitator. You can teach
kids how to swim, hike, or survive in the wilderness, or teach them
special skills such as pottery making and other crafts.
Tip!
There are many summer camps available around you nowadays,
that it proves to be rather difficult to choose the right summer
camp for your child. The best thing to do to choose the right camp
would be to compare brochures and websites of different summer
camps.
Summer camps are also looking
for researchers, coaches, nurses, program directors, lifeguards,
program leaders, adventure leaders, support staff, and much more. As
long as you are fun-loving, patient and have a genuine concern for
young people, you will surely find a job in camp.
Camp counselors and facilitators are
paid anywhere from $180 to $200 per week, depending on the camp. You
usually get free board and lodging, a visa (of you are a foreigner),
and sometimes even plane fare. Some parents give tips to camp
employees. |
