Regional Substitute Camp Counselor – New Jersey

Steve & Kate's Camp•Montclair, NJ

19d•$18 - $20•Onsite

About The Position

This Regional Substitute Camp Counselor position is designed for team members who are interested in working at Steve & Kate’s Camp on an as-needed basis across our New York region. Rather than being hired for one specific camp location or set schedule, Regional Substitute Counselors become part of our substitute staff pool. As staffing needs arise at camps throughout the region, substitute team members may have opportunities to pick up available shifts based on their own availability and the needs of our camps. At Steve & Kate's, we put radical trust in kids so that they learn to trust themselves. We value empowering our staff to be their whole authentic selves because everyone in our community needs to feel included! Sound like something you can get behind? If so, we're looking for team members who are motivated babysitters, teachers, coaches, students, athletes, artists, and anyone ready to play hard and be goofy. As a Steve & Kate’s staff member, you’ll sharpen your inherent leadership skills, learn some new ones, and collaborate with interesting people, all while immersing yourself in creativity and play.
