We will be hosting a ROAR-ing good time at Camp Welaka-saurus this summer as we are transported back to the time of the dinosaurs! Our campers will head off on a prehistoric adventure as they dig for fossils, explore paleontology through interactive themed activities, and, of course, all the traditional camp fun of paddling, hiking, and friendships! And at Day Camp, we will make a SPLASH!
What will a typical day look like in this role?
Do you enjoy the outdoors? Camp Leaders and Assistant Leaders are responsible for providing a safe environment while campers are amazed by a wide variety of themed outdoor activities!

• An energetic individual with critical thinking skills who can adapt as needed.
• Someone who can communicate clearly, verbally and in writing, with children, parents, volunteers, peers, supervisors and subordinates.
• Someone who can stand for long periods of time and can withstand the South Florida sun in the summer.
• Someone committed to creating environments that promote diversity, equity and inclusion.
