Join us for an incredible summer

Spend an unforgettable summer as a staff member at the Shorefront Y Summer Day Camp in Brooklyn! We are currently looking to hire the best, brightest and most creative staff we can find.

Work in a team creating an environment that is safe, warm and engaging for everyone in our camp community. We encourage individuality and love to see counselors showing their personalities and talents as they lead daily activities for their groups. The summer is an exciting combination of trips, special event days, color war and overnights that requires a fun, energetic and responsible staff to pull off.

Individuals that possess the special qualities that are required to lead a group of staff/children who are in their desired age range of choice. Division leaders must have exceptional organizational skills, exemplary time management, the ability to work with large groups of both children/staff, and the keen ability to be a leader at all times. It is a division leader's responsibility to map out the direction their groups summer will take, by planning everything from daily activities for children, to planning/running staff meetings with their counselors in appropriate areas related to camp.

This position entails supervising a group of staff from 10-25 personnel, and a group of campers varying from 40 – 90 (depending on the division). A division leader's main responsibility is to supervise staff and the programs that they have instituted for the summer.

Specialists are a selected group of individuals whose role is to enrich, inspire and strengthen campers through their area of expertise over the course of the camp season. Specialty staff should bring enthusiasm, knowledge, strong organizational skills and talent, as they engage campers and staff in their specialty area.

Each specialty head is responsible for creating an age appropriate curriculum, submitting materials lists on time and executing projects and activities in a way that makes even the shyest campers into stars.
