Responsibilities

With guidance from the Assistant Director of Camp Programs, work in collaboration with a Program Coordinator or Program Assistant to plan, prepare supplies, and facilitate safe, high quality, engaging all-camp activities, e.g. campfires, large field games, talent shows, and the camp dance

Supervise, support, and step in as a substitute for members of the programming team as they provide safe, high quality, engaging activities which meet PEAK Program Quality Standards. This includes programs such as Performing Arts, Visual Arts, Team Sports, Archery, Nature, Outdoor Living Skills, and Boating

In their absence, step in as a substitute for cabin counselors, including overnight stays with a cabin of up to 8 campers

Actively lead, participate in, and assist in the preparation and implementation of camp, including all-camp activities, staff training, bus duty, inventory/clean-up and more. The Program Coordinator(s) may be asked to go to Milwaukee on camper arrival days to interact with campers and families and be a bus chaperone. The Program Coordinator(s) may also be asked to be a bus chaperone from Lake Valley Camp to Milwaukee and back on camper departure days

In between sessions (including between orientation and sessions), Lead Team members will be assigned by Administrators to drive a vehicle back to PEAK in Milwaukee and then bring staff back to Lake Valley Camp after camper drop-off is complete

As a member of the LVC Leadership Team, Program Coordinators will participate in regular meetings to provide updates and strategize to help our camp community be the best it can be. Program Coordinators will be responsible for some evening/overnight shifts as Supervisor-on-Duty. Program Coordinators may be asked to supervise campers overnight in situations that would mean they would not be staying in their typically living quarters. The Program Coordinators will be expected to work from early morning to late at night (often 7:00am to 11:00pm) on a typical day and additional hours when necessary. They are also expected to be on call throughout the night in case of emergencies. Program Coordinators will consistently act as a positive role model for our community and their actions and decisions should reflect that expectation
