In resident camps, counselors live with campers. In day camps, they may travel with the children on a bus to and from the camp. Camps need lifeguards for both swimming and boating. Maybe you'd like to become an Assistant to the camp's nurse or health care worker. Camps also need drivers, trip leaders, and office help.
Resident camps provide room and board.
Laundry services and health and accident insurance may also be included. Volunteers and interns gain valuable experience that can be important additions to your resume and provide enriching experiences that can last a lifetime. By definition, a camp accredited by the American Camping Association complies with the associations' standards, and its owners and directors subscribe to ACA's code of ethics. As a result, an accredited camp provides written employment agreements and personnel policies. An employment agreement should give the job description, salary, when staff will be paid, benefits and terms of employment.
