Meet the 2008 Summer Staff
Summer staff 2009 positions will be posted by the end of October. Positions will be similar to the 2008 positions listed below.
All staff positions are for the whole summer. Each staff member receives 8 days of staff orientation. You’ll learn about leadership and team building, and how to positively impact the lives of others—great skills in any work situation. A successful camp experience helps you develop flexibility, integrity
and leadership skills. You’ll gain experience in exercising judgment in many different situations, taking initiative, communicating effectively and maintaining a high level of energy.
Sonlight also utilitzes volunteer counselors each week to round out the counseling staff. Volunteer counselor info.
Program Staff: Each of these positions will be a counselor some weeks, and behind the scenes support other weeks. No position involves being a counselor every week of the summer. All program staff will have both of the following job descriptions:
- Counselor
- Program support
When the role is counseling, staff live with, and are responsible for campers. Counselors must be prepared for long hours, minimal personal time and many rewards. Counselors must enjoy young people and have a sense of fair and effective discipline.
Other weeks, program staff will be program support. This will involve behind the scenes duties, to include dish washing, mowing, leading teams course and leading activities with campers. (Archery, mountain biking, climbing wall, crafts, dodgeball etc.) These weeks are valuable to practice the skills of supporting others, and enjoy a different camp rhythm.
