Our Summer Staff work with a team to make our camps memorable, fun, safe, and growing experiences for the kids that come to Eagle Village. Our summer camps serve as early intervention, skill builders, and additional support for kids that would struggle in a traditional camp setting. We have all the fun of a regular camp like tackling the climbing wall or high ropes course, swimming, campfires, and hiking through the woods; but we also offer kids extra help working through their emotions, taking responsibility, and developing healthy relationships with others.
Summer Staff are responsible for constant supervision of campers, helping with activities, cheering kids on, hosting visitors, occasional supervision in the resident program, being an example of how to respect self and others, and maintaining the firm but loving discipline taught during training. This position requires daily evaluation of how kids are doing emotionally and relationally.
A Summer Staff position is a great opportunity for college students looking for a summer job that has a mission and makes a difference in the lives of others.
