Opportunities abound for those
seeking employment in summer
camps this year. Camps up and down
the East Coast have positions open
for counselors, specialists and kitchen
aides.
Previous counseling experience is
not necessary for most jobs, but
camping know-how is helpful, said
Ilene Morales, registrar for Camp
Leah in Bear Mountain, N.Y. Good
leadership and planning skills and a
positive attitude are also useful.
"We look for folks that can con
tribute to the program, but most of
alL that care about the development
and growth of children," said Ron
Austin, camp executive at Camp
Cheerio in High Point.
Special positions for instruction in
canoeing, rock climbing, arts and
crafts, music, drama and others are
also available but require certain
qualifications.
Those interested in teaching water
sports and other outdoor activities
usually need to have first aid, WSI
(Water Safety Instructor) and CPR
certification, said Judith Bev'an,
director of Camp Broadstone, a camp
for the academically gifted in Banner
Elk.
Counseling is a demanding job,
because counselors must be available
to campers at all times, said Portia
Newman, assistant to the personnel,
director of Camp Sea Gull (for boys)
and Camp Seafarer (for girls), near
New Bern.
"Their days are not eight-hour
days," Newman said. "One day is just,
like any other at camp, because the
kids are there day in, day out."
Counselors usually have one day
off per week at most camps, but the
rest of their hours are spent with
campers, said Joe McCranek, direc
tor of camping for the YMCA of
greater New York.
"It's a pretty strong commitment.
There are very few summer jobs
where you're more committed time
wise," he said.
Salaries for counselors range from
$80 to $150 per week, depending on
age and experience, camp directors
said.
Overnight camp seasons usually
run from four to eight weeks, with
additional training time for staff. Jobs
at day camps that run throughout the
summer are also available.
The University Career Planning
and Placement Services office has
information on getting applications
for numerous camps in North Carol
ina and other eastern states. Camp
directors encourage students to apply
promptly, because positions are
filling quickly.
