Summer High School Internship

Camp Urban Adamah

Description

The High School Internship is a unique opportunity to get hands-on job experience working with children on a farm. Interns receive high quality training and mentorship to learn to be great camp counselors. The internship offers a direct path to becoming a counselor down the road.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Group Support: The Camp Counselors and Unit Heads are responsible for creating group culture and for making sure that all of the campers have a good experience. The Intern’s role is to work at a 1:1 level with the campers to help this happen.

Program / Activity Support: The Camp Counselors and Unit Heads create the programming and the Interns support by helping them run it and to inspire the campers to have a great experience. At the beginning of the summer the interns will only be asked to support the programming. As the summer continues they will be offered support in creating their own programming with the campers!

Mentorship: The interns will receive mentorship and training from the Camp Director, camper care coordinator, and from their head counselors.

Safety: All Camp staff ensure that camp is a safe environment for children as well as other staff. Staff make sure that all children are accounted for and within the delineated premises from drop-off to pick-up time.
