Can you take the time to make a difference?
Since you are inquiring about a camp staff position with HASDC, it means that you possess a caring and compassionate nature. All camp positions require a significant commitment during camp. Sometimes staff with good intentions and great ideas are simply too busy to follow through on their commitment. This can result in a disappointed camper. With this in mind, we are counting on you to follow through with the commitments you make to the camp in addition to the other commitments in your life.
You understand that you will check your personal life upon arrival and fully participate in camp for the entire week. You understand that there will most likely be no cell coverage, no access to email, limited sleep. Please consider this carefully before you apply.
Can you go with the flow?
The physical environment in which we live at camp is different than what we are used to in our everyday lives. In addition to the uniqueness of the physical environment, we continually challenge camp staff to reach new heights of personal growth that will then help them lead campers to the best possible camp experience. Though this unique environment can be challenging, it is part of what makes it such a rewarding experience for staff.
Can you go the extra mile?
At HASDC, we strive to make camp a life-enriching experience for all who attend, campers and staff alike. We strongly urge staff to spend time before camp honing their counseling skills by learning new camp songs, child management techniques, leadership skills, and technical skills. To what length are you willing to go in order to be the best camp counselor, JRC, or general staff person that you can be?
Thank you for considering these important questions. Every staff person is important to the mission of HASDC’s summer camps and the campers rely on YOU for this extraordinary experience. If after answering these questions to yourself, camp seems like it is a good fit for you, then please complete the registration materials by July 22.
