Job Description

Camp Urban Adamah relies on an experienced and talented group of counselors to create loving, inspiring, memorable, and transformative experiences for children. Our counselors ensure that children of different ages can have wonderful experiences both as part of a large group and in smaller age-based groups.

RESPONSIBILITIES

  1. Group Leader: Unit heads are responsible for up to 2 chavurah groups. Each chavura group includes 10-15 campers, 2 counselors each, and a varying number of counselors in training and high school interns. The Unit Head sets the tone and supervises the larger group, while the counselor sets the tone of the group through team-building games, fun beginning-of-day and end-of-day rituals, listening circles, and more. They are responsible for supervising the counselors in their unit and for setting and upholding standards of safety and respect within the unit. They are also the first step in behavioral interventions for campers who are having a hard time.
  2. Program/Activity Leader: Unit heads are responsible for making sure that activities are adequately planned and run. They are also expected to create programming and run it themselves. Camp activities are based on skills that counselors bring with them from prior teaching experience, as well as from activities and skills that will be shared and taught during Camp Staff training and throughout the summer. Activities include typical farm tasks such as planting, harvesting, tending to garden beds, and caring for animals; food preparation and cooking; and creative projects involving the arts, music, and drama.
  3. Camp Support: Unit Heads will be asked to support camp in other ways as needed based on their abilities. This may include song-leading, facilitation of camp-wide opening and closing circle, and theatrical performances and storytelling. Unit heads, along with all camp staff, are responsible for daily set-up and clean-up (in general and after specific activities) as well as other tasks related to camp operations on an as-needed basis. We appreciate an overall spirit of flexibility and enthusiasm!
  4. Safety: All Camp staff ensure that camp is a safe environment for children as well as other staff. Staff make sure that all children are accounted for and within the delineated premises from drop-off to pick-up time. Staff keep a birds-eye-view of potential hazards around the farm, help children use tools safely, are available to administer basic first aid, and support emergency protocols and procedures.
  5. Staff Leadership: Unit Heads are responsible for keeping spirits high, and for bringing their team together. They are expected to have a positive attitude and to care deeply for the experience of the campers in their unit, as well as their staff.

Compensation

$23/hour
