Summer Camp Support Staff

Company: Camp America
Location: US Summer Camps (various locations)
Benefits: Free flights, food, accommodation & pocket money of $900-1350
Start: Late June
Duration: Minimum 9 weeks

Description
Looking for a summer job with a difference? Campower is the name we give to the support roles at a summer camp. In essence, you are the power behind the camp, without you the camp would not function!! If you don't want to spend your summer working directly with kids but would love to have the unique experience of working at a summer camp, this is the job for you!

The work is demanding and the hours are long but you'll receive more pocket money than Counsellors and because you don't have responsibility for a cabin of children, you will probably have more time to yourself!

You don't need prior experience for these jobs but many people apply, so get your application in early! (If you have worked as a chef or cook then your chances of a Campower placement are very high indeed!)



Although many positions are in the kitchen, where you could be preparing food for all those hungry campers or washing the dishes, there are plenty of other jobs on offer. Other support roles requiring specific skills are plumbing, electrical, vehicle maintenance or horse/stable care. There are also less skilled positions available including ground staff, camp store, laundry staff or night watch staff.

Requirements
The most important requirement for this option is that US visa regulations state a Campower worker must be a full-time post-secondary student (English language school courses do not qualify).

In addition you must:

• Be 18 years old by June 1st 2009
• Be available before June 28th 2009 for a minimum of 9 weeks
• Speak fluent English
• Have a passport that is valid at least 6 months after your return date
• Be able to prove to the American Consulate that you have reason to return to your home country (e.g. student status or employment).
• Be willing to attend a personal interview with a regional interviewer
• Meet the US visa, medical and criminal record check requirements
