Become a child’s hero. Apply now to become part of the Fairview Lake YMCA Camp staff team. Unlike any other place, camp allows kids to be themselves, to develop friendships, and explore the world around them. There are numerous ways you can facilitate their growth.
Become a camp counselor - what better way is there to spend a summer than with young people in a beautiful outdoor setting while teaching them new skills. No matter what your occupation is or will be, camp will help you grow too. The experience of working with kids will challenge you, however, the rewards are great. For our staff members, the feeling of making a positive impact on young peoples’ lives far outweighs the hard work involved in making camp happen. We are looking for enthusiastic, mature, intelligent, creative, and out-going people for our summer staff. You must possess a love of children and the out-of-doors. Our staff will go the extra mile to help our campers develop self-esteem, independence, and responsibility. For a complete listing of jobs and a staff application packet, please contact the camp office or e-mail the summer camp director at MKoch@metroymcas.org.
Become an environmental program specialist. We are looking for individuals who are interested in living on site for a minimum of six months. Job responsibilities include teaching a variety of outdoor classes in the area of ecology, natural history, team building and outdoor skills, assisting in evening programs like night hikes and camp fires, and developing new curriculum. A BA/BS is preferred but not required, a love and wonder of the natural world, and an enthusiasm to work with children are requirements of the successful applicants. Being a team player and flexible in your teaching style is also vital.
