During the season you can be assigned for a secondary role. This mean that during programs it can be requested to staff to support different programs than they were originally hired. We appreciate and value staff’s flexibility whenever atypical situations arise that requires those changes between roles and locations.
Staff can expect to receive a general summer schedule early in the summer with more specific role details in a timely manner. While we aim to schedule our staff for as many hours and program groups as they wish, there are natural fluctuations in registration that may result in staff having one or more weeks of unscheduled work or weeks in which they are assigned as a substitute or on-call staff. We still provide housing and food for Overnight Camp and International Staff even on weeks where they are assigned as a substitute or on-call staff.
There may be one or more weeks throughout the summer where you will not be assigned to a specific program or group and will serve as a ‘floater’ or substitute instructor. During this week you may lead a variety of programs, fulfill different roles, and take on additional duties and responsibilities outside of your primary position. You may also be scheduled to be ‘on-call’ where you are expected to be available as is reasonable to substitute in the event that a staff member calls out of work.
