If your camp is a residential camp you may be living with up to 15 children ensuring safety in the bunk, sleeping / waking on time.

Other positions require experience for example, Waterfront Director will require previous knowledge in leading staff and running a safe and fun waterfront.

Absolutely not, every camp is different, from sports camps to religious camps there are many others in between.

What they do all have in common is that there aim is to give their children the best summer ever and you as staff will help do that.
