It is just the time of year when The Fresh Air Fund begins preparing
for the summer full of summer camps filled with happy faces and lots
and lots of kids from the cities who get to spend their summer vacation
out of the city and in the country. It is also a very important time
for finding and hiring camp counselors for the summer as well as locating, vetting, and securing host families as well. All of this information is collected on a little informational web site you can check out, but I will excerpt some of this below.
Fresh Air Fund Needs Counselors for Summer 2009!
You love working with children, and that's probably what we like
most about you. Running across the ball field, washing off the glitter
glue, or swimming in the lake - with your cabin group laughing around
you - you'll be in your element.Are you going to be the counselor the children learn to paint with?
The one they play soccer with? The one they want to hang out with? Or
perhaps the one they read a bed-time story with? Whatever your role
becomes, you'll thrive on the challenge and commit yourself to the
cause.You've got to be 18 or over by June 20th to apply, and you'll
usually have completed at least one year of college by the summer. Any
previous work with children should always be included on your application.The experience you're about to apply for will be like no other, and
it's going to take patience, flexibility, creativity, and a whole lot
of self-motivation. But the rewards will be great... overcoming
challenges, meeting new friends, playing games in the sun, jumping into
the cool lake, painting face masks, hitting a home run, telling stories
around a camp fire......and then seeing that smile brighten a child's face.
We're looking for counselors and program staff for all five of our summer camps - but places fill fast, so get your application in today.
We are now accepting applications for the 2009 season.
