Staff
Our staff is hand picked for their commitment to nurturing the growth and development of all children. They are selected based on their leadership abilities and experience guiding young children.
Our staff is comprised of teachers, aides and interns. The teaching staff consists of certified classroom teachers as well as professional educators. Our teachers strive to provide a carefully planned and nurturing environment. Each teacher is assisted by a group of aides, 16-22 year olds, who were chosen for their sensitivity, leadership and work with young children in their communities. The interns who join each group are young teens who volunteer their summer days as a way to give to back to those around them. Usually these are past campers who remember how special they felt when they came to camp!
Summer Stuff Day Camps also prides itself on Our We Care program. We Care was designed to provide families with the highest quality camp experience. Our We Care Coordinator assists parents with their concerns and questions, ensuring that our programs are conducive to the growth and learning needs of every child.
If you are interested in a position as a teacher or an aide, please download the Staff Application and submit it to Summer Stuff Day Camps. If you are interested in a position as an intern, please download the Intern Letter and the Intern Application. Read the letter carefully, then submit the application to Summer Stuff Day Camps.
