• Answer phone calls from parents, vendors, etc and address questions, take a message or relay to the appropriate person.
• Respond to parent emails in a timely fashion.
• Sort mail and deliver packages.
• Collect and process camper and staff forms including searching for missing information and tracking down the person who needs to correct it.
• Utilize our camp databases - including Campsite - to ensure accurate bookkeeping.
• Support the staff, leadership team and directors with ad hoc tasks including materials preparation.
• Monitor activity keys to keep track of who signs them in and out, and to ensure they are returned in a timely fashion.
• Help filter camper requests as they come into the office; provide comfort to a homesick camper who walks into the Lodge (name of our office!) looking for a trustworthy adult.
• Make announcements over the PA system (ex: the beginning or end of an activity, a camper that is being called to the Lodge or to their activity).
• Keep track of office and canteen inventory and place orders when it needs to be replenished

This Job Might Be For You If:

• You are a problem solver. Even with training and a guide, a lot of questions can be unique. If you are someone who is good at figuring out where things are, or what the answer is independently, you will perform well in this role.
• You love working with people. You’ll often be the first point of contact for everyone -- campers, parents and/or staff -- at camp. Are you super friendly and love helping out? Perfect!
• You’re super organized. Have a color coded system for file folders? Like keeping your highlighters arranged a certain way? We’re looking for someone to make our office a well-oiled machine. Lots of different forms and requests will come in throughout the day, so being able to go back and forth with tasks will be very helpful.
• You’re a good communicator. So much information flows through the office that sometimes it will feel like a real life version of the game “Telephone”. Making sure the information gets to the right person in a timely fashion is crucial.
• You have great attention to detail. You’re dealing with a lot of time sensitive (and oftentimes personal) information, so we need someone who won’t let anything slip.
• You’re quick on your feet. Things move a mile a minute at camp. When a problem arises, you’ll need to be cool under pressure and spring into action with others to help solve it safely and efficiently.
• You’re a team player. Our office is run by a small but mighty team, so you won’t have to do it all alone, this also means helping others out when they need extra support too!

• Room + Board
• Travel Reimbursement if not local
