Job Description:
GO WEST CAMPS, Colorado Springs' premier Summer Day Camp is
hiring staff for summer 2025. Here you will find all the community
and connection of an overnight camp but have your nights and
weekends free! Go West Unit Leader staff work Monday-Friday, 40-45
hours per week, May 19th-August 1st.
UNIT LEADERS are responsible for supporting camp counselors and
working hands-on with kids. We separate campers into 4 different
age units, with a unit leader responsible for each one. Previous
experience working with children is required. Experience
supervising others is preferred.
Working at Go West Camps isn't just a summer job...it's a way of
life. While at camp you'll experience lots of fun and adventurous
activities, but it is the community of understanding, friendship,
and encouragement that keeps campers and staff coming back year
after year.
We are looking for staff with experience farming or gardening. If
you've ever had a job where you've bike commuted, Go West Camps
might be a perfect fit for you. We use pedal-powered
transportation, and basic riding and bike maintenance skills are a
real plus. Adventure programs are an important part of Go West
Camps and require some of our staff members to have a greater level
of certification and education.
We are looking for people with education and certification through
nationally and internationally recognized organizations such as Red
Cross, the American Canoe Association, National Outdoor Leadership
School, League of American Bicyclists, USA Archery, and others. An
interest in teaching, leading, and working with youth is key for
all of our staff members.
Go West operates on a small group philosophy and staff will
typically work with a group of 12 campers and one other staff
member. The ages of our campers range from 5 to 15.
When it's time to get energized or wind down at camp, music can be
key. We're always looking for staff who are excited to sing or play
an instrument. We hope to use photos and video to document our
campers' experience at camp. If you're a photographer or GoPro wiz,
we need your skills.
