Camp Counselor

Summary

We are currently seeking adult & junior counselors (16+) that have experience working with or a desire to work with elementary students in a nature based, enrichment focused day camp. Camp Cowabunga is housed at Moharimet Elementary (11 Lee Road) in Madbury. This would be a great opportunity for an education/psychology/human development major or a high school student looking for hands-on experience in the education field. Hours of operation are 8-4:30. Summer camp weeks are June 25th-August 19th, Monday through Friday.

Duties

As a camp counselor you will supervise elementary students ages 5-10 as they go about day to day activities of a summer day camp. Some of the the duties are:

1. Helping supervise campers on the playground and during station activities
2. Making sure they are safe and accounted for on field trips while partnering with another counselor
3. Assisting them with pre-planned curriculum activities that include art, STEM, nature exploration, and gross motor activities and ensuring they have the correct supplies to engage in the activity if desired
4. Cleaning tables and floors after these activities (because fun things can sometimes get messy!)
5. Applying sunscreen and helping campers get ready to enjoy the great outdoors
6. And the most important, making connections with elementary level students and furthering your knowledge of the field of education through hands-on experience!
