Summer Day Camp Counselor Minis (Part Time)

at  YMCA of Greater Seattle

TELL ME ABOUT THIS JOB!

Every day campers participate in fun and engaging YMCA summer day camp programs. Counselors will co-lead a group of 10-15 youth in various activities throughout the camp, including group games, crafts, STEM projects, cooking projects and more. Spend your summer full of fun with kids all summer long!
We have camps that serve campers from preschool-early high school. From theme-based camps, to environmental explorations at Outdoor Day Camp to sports, swimming, STEM and more-we have something for every camper but also for every counselor.
When you join our team of summer staff, you’re signing on for a summer of adventure with energetic coworkers, and plenty of perks like a free Y membership and paid training for certifications like First Aid and CPR. Seeking ongoing work after the summer? Our seasonal jobs are a great way to begin your career with the Y, with many staff continuing into our year-round job opportunities.
Day Camp season runs June 24th through the end of August, (start dates vary by location) with training the week of 06/15 - 06/21.
