Location: 301 Austin Bluffs Pkwy, Colorado Springs, CO 80918Camp Dates: 5/28 - 8/9 (additionally, one weekend to set up, one weekend to breakdown, and an orientation date TBD)Camp Hours: 8:00 am - 6:00 pm (actual shifts will vary) Hourly Wage: 15.50 - $18.00At Steve & Kate's, we put radical trust in kids so that they learn to trust themselves. Campers choose minute-to-minute how to spend their time because making decisions today helps to build the self-confidence they’ll need to wrangle unknowns tomorrow. We value empowering our staff to be their whole authentic selves because everyone in our community needs to feel included! Sound like something you can get behind? If so, we're looking for team members who are motivated babysitters, teachers, coaches, students, athletes, artists, and anyone ready to play hard and be goofy. As a Steve & Kate’s staff member, you’ll sharpen your inherent leadership skills, learn some new ones, and collaborate with interesting people, all while immersing yourself in creativity and play. Job Responsibilities As a Substitute Staff member, you’ll seamlessly step into camp on an as-needed basis when our full-time staff are unavailable, or we have a spike in attendance increasing our staffing needs. While your schedule will vary, the responsibilities of a Sub look much the same as our full-time staff. Staff members will be responsible for facilitating activities, making connections, and monitoring safety and wellness. Some staff members will create and/or oversee activity spaces in which campers will self-select activities, while other staff will work in rotating support roles throughout camp . The best way to find out what your specific responsibilities would be is to speak with your local director, but activities include sewing, stop-motion animation, maker space, performing arts, arts and crafts, lounging, recreation, and so much more! Additional Responsibilities:
Actively supervising campers
Maintaining an organized and approachable activity space
Ensure compliance with Camp Policies
Reporting & Recording details of notable concerns or incidents, and of injuries to campers, other staff members, or self
Keeping track and being aware of camper allergies and dietary restrictions
