Additionally, you'll assist with snacks and meals, ensuring the campers' safety while encouraging enjoyment and engagement.

Your Impact

As a Camp Assistant, you'll become a mentor and role model for your group of campers. You'll help them develop new skills, build confidence, and create lasting memories.

Why You Should Work as a Camp Assistant

Working as a Camp Assistant is a fantastic opportunity to develop a wide range of skills such as leadership, communication, teamwork, and problem-solving. These skills are not only valuable at camp but also in your future academic and professional endeavors. You will be entrusted with significant responsibilities while also having the support of your Camp Leader and fellow Camp Assistants. Together, you'll create an unforgettable summer experience for the campers, making a lasting impact on their lives—and your own.

What Makes a Great Camp Assistant

A great Camp Assistant is energetic, friendly, and patient, with a genuine passion for making a positive impact on campers' experiences. If you love working with children or are excited to share your enthusiasm for a sport, skill, or hobby, this role is for you.
