By way of introduction, my name is Rachel Friedman (rachel@campwinadu.com), one of the Staffing Coordinators at Camp Winadu, an all boys camp located in Pittsfield, Massachusetts.
I was hoping you could forward the below job description to your students as we are seeking to hire staff/counselors who are studying education and interested in a career working with children. Our position includes a salary, travel, and room and board.
I work as an elementary school teacher in New Jersey and found my path to a career in education by attending and working at overnight camps like Camp Winadu my entire life!
I’ve found my work experience as a counselor at camp to truly add to my abilities within the classroom. Your future teachers are sure to benefit in areas of classroom management, successful teacher/student relationships, as well as how to work well within a diverse group of professionals. As a professional within the educational world, I cannot think of a better summer learning opportunity for those pursuing a career in teaching.
Thank you in advance for your time, it is much appreciated!
Again the job description for students is located below.
Best,
Rachel
General Counselor/Bunk Specialists
General Counselors at Winadu are the heartbeat of camp, spending their day with campers and participating in all the activities Winadu has to offer. All in the same day, a General Counselor can be coaching flag football, spending time at the lake and participating in a campfire. General Counselors make activities fun and encourage campers to participate. The ideal candidate will be high energy, fun, comfortable trying new things, and embrace our motto “Building Character Through Sports.’ General Counselor should enjoy working with children, have a high level of patience, a solid work ethic and be open minded. We offer a competitive salary (based on experience), generous travel stipend, and all room and board expenses. Winadu is approximately 3 hours from Boston and NYC. This is a great job for anyone pursuing a career working with kids as you will gain practical experience in a camp setting. We can also work with your school to help fulfill internship requirements where approved.
Camp Winadu has the quality instruction of a specialty sports camp and the traditions, robust program and special events of a traditional overnight boys summer camp. Camp Winadu’s mission is building character through sports and it is seen and felt in everything we do.
