More Than A Summer Job

THE ULTIMATE PAID INTERNSHIP!

At SCC, we view the summer experience much more than just ‘a summer job’, but rather “The Ultimate Paid Internship”. At camp you will develop what we call “Essential Skills/Soft Skills” that are extremely appealing to universities and future employers.

Essential skills are character traits & interpersonal skills that characterize a person’s relationships with other people (i.e. Communication, Teamwork, Emotional Intelligence, Leadership). Employers, more than ever, are looking for candidates with strong “essential/soft” skills.

 “5 Essential Skills” You’ll Develop at Camp for Future Success:

  1. Communication Skills – You will communicate with people at every level of the organization – campers, fellow staff, camp directors & parents.
  2. Critical Thinking & Problem Solving – You will be challenged to think on your feet & resolve a myriad of issues on a daily basis.
  3. Interpersonal & Leadership Skills – You will model professionalism & compassion by managing campers, while contributing to the growth & development of each child.
  4. Collaborative Skills / Teamwork – You will receive on the ground, practical, real-life training in how to work within a team and build the culture of your camp community.
  5. Creativity / Adaptability – You will develop innovative & fun ways to engage an audience of 2 to 20 and learn to adapt when faced with unexpected changes to the daily routine.

In addition to developing these key essential skills & gaining real world work experience, working at camp also provides an amazing opportunity to make life-long friends and participate in one of the best summer experiences of your life!
