Summer Field Trip Camp Lead - Montclair (Lacordaire Academy)
About The Position
Our Field Trip program is designed to expose campers to activities and spaces that awaken their curiosity and passions. 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 nannies, babysitters, teachers, coaches, students, athletes, artists, and anyone ready to play hard and be goofy. As a Field Trip 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. Our Field Trip Planning team will prepare everything from hiring staff to planning activities, and then they will hand you the reins. While supervising both staff and campers on the Field Trip, you’ll also oversee day-to-day operations, communicate with parents and guardians, and maintain a food and activity budget. You’ll travel by bus (or public transportation in large cities) to multiple stops, all while having fun with kids, and of course, making sure all this happens safely. If you’re interested in a career in our camps, this is a great way to gain valuable experience.
