Summer Camp Unit Head - Wynnewood, United States - Sunrise Day Camp-Greater Philly
16 hours ago
Description
Sunrise Day Camp, for children ages - 16, is the only dedicated full summer day camp in the world for children with cancer and their siblings.
It is a camp designed to meet the emotional, social, recreational, and physical needs of these children while allowing them to enjoy the comforts and safety of their own homes at night.
Sunrise Day Camp offers a full, multi-week summer activity program plus year-round camp-like programs.Additionally, our in-hospital program Sunrise On Wheels allows children to experience "camp" in the hospital by providing activities for those who are awaiting treatment.
Best of all, Sunrise Day Camp is offered
free of charge to all children being treated for cancer and their siblings on a non-sectarian basis.
By raising the needed funds from outside sources instead of charging the parents, we can help to alleviate some of the costs, and the related stress, that parents incur caring for a sick child throughout the year.
Children who have received medical clearance from their physicians are welcome to attend.Though 7 weeks of camp programming is offered, children may register and attend any and every day they feel well enough to do so.
Staff Position
Sunrise Day Camp is actively hiring an individual to serve as a Unit Head for our youngest campers, ages 3 till 5.
We are looking for individuals who are
mature, responsible, energetic, creative, and
excited to make a tremendous impact in the lives of our children.
Our Unit Head is responsible for overseeing a camper unit and will have the support of an assistant unit head and staff counselors.
The unit head will be responsible for the administrative day to day of the group, handling camper issues, and communicating with parents.
Unit heads report directly to the camp director.Because our camper population may have greater emotional and physical needs, and because staff stays in close proximity with the campers, the experience is demanding.
It is critical that staff members are attentive to children, their individual needs and concerns, and demonstrate a willingness to do more than their share.
