    Looking for a summer job that includes the fun of summer camp with the experience of an internship?

    Shane Camps & Resorts is seeking an Administrative Office Assistant for both of our businesses – Camp Shane and Shane Diet & Fitness Resorts. We offer a casual learning environment and the opportunity to gain professional skills in regards to customer service, time management and working within a team.

    Our children’s camp is located in Ferndale, NY in the beautiful Catskill Mountains and Shane Diet & Fitness Resort is located in Ellenville, NY, just a half hour away. We require our interns to live at camp during their employment term which lasts from June through August, 2017 (exact dates to be determined). Living accommodations and meals are provided free of charge.

    MAIN TASKS:

    • General office duties including but not limited to responding to emails, answering phones, greeting visitors, filing, faxing, scanning and laminating.

    Our ideal candidate would be one who is extremely mature, responsible and confidential, internet and computer savvy with strong writing, verbal and phone skills.

    A positive, upbeat and friendly personality with the ability to multitask in what is often a very busy environment is absolutely necessary.

    You should also have a ‘go-getter’ attitude with the ability to take initiative.
