Overview
Guiding Light Mentoring offers summer programming at multiple locations. Each camp has a slightly different theme and schedule, but all of them enroll individual youth between the ages of 8 and 12. It takes teamwork, flexibility, and clear roles to run our Summer Camp successfully. Below you will find basic descriptions of the major roles of the
camp staff. Summer Camp runs on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 1:00pm-3:00pm.
Roles
Summer Camp Lead
Summer Camp Lead will lead each camp group and hold primary responsibility for the safety of their group. They will be the lead on teaching curriculum, setting behavior expectations, and monitoring transition times during the camp day.
Summer Camp Co-Lead
The role of a Summer Camp Co-Lead is to support the Summer Camp Lead by helping in a specific curriculum role (belaying, teaching, facilitating an art project, etc) or by working individually with campers who are having a difficult time, helping walk with the group between activities, and acting as a runner during the day (example: get more supplies). Summer Camp Co-Leads are encouraged to connect with campers and help each kid feel like part of the group.
