What are the responsibilities and job description for the Swim Instructor position at Camp Robindel?
Minimum Requirements
The main prerequisite for a counselor at Robindel is a desire to live, work and play with children. We seek mature and reliable people who can be counted on to be part of a team, and who are committed to personal and professional development.
Here at Robindel, our cabin counselors are also activity specialists. This means that you get to spend your days sharing your passion for sports, arts or nature with all of the camp community.
We are looking for people who like to work hard and play hard! Most staff at Robindel return for more than one summer and many find clarity in their career goals after spending summers with us. We are happy to work with you to fulfill internship requirements, should you have any.
All counselors must complete one year of university, or be of the equivalent age.
Swim
Swimming is an important part of the Robindel program. Most campers receive instructional swim every day. As a swim staff member you will teach lessons throughout the day based on American Red Cross standards. During free swim times, swim instructors act as lifeguards. We have three inflatable water toys, which are very popular during this time!
We look for people who have swam competitively and who have taught swim lessons. If you are not currently an American Red Cross Lifeguard or WSI Instructor, we will provide this training to you.
