Description
The JCC Ranch Camp is not just the Denver JCC's overnight summer camp, it's also one of the best places to work during the summer. As a staff member, Ranch Camp will become your home away from home as you work to create a community where people can thrive. You're a hero to your campers; you have the chance to do something you really care about and have a whole lot of fun doing it. Your experience as a staff member is just as important to us as our campers' experience. That being said: We're here to serve kids and make sure they are in the safest environment possible while having the time of their lives.
First and foremost, all our staff are madrichim or counselors.
General Staff Responsibilities

• Take care of all campers by prioritizing their physical, social, emotional health, safety, and well-being.
• Create a community that you want to be a part of and that you want campers to be a part of.
• Include everyone and make sure everyone is included.
• Jump into the camp life: ride horses, swim, camp, play games, sing songs, roast s'mores, be ready to do everything the campers do!
• Manage camper behaviors using the tools you learn in Staff Orientation week (We'll go over positive behavior management techniques, enforcing appropriate safety policies, emergency procedures, camp rules, and more.)
• Be flexible and adaptable because things change quickly at camp. You have to be able to roll with it.
• And other duties and responsibilities as assigned: you might need to make your campers' dreams of a beach themed ice-cream campfire song session come true or become your favorite legendary Pokémon for an evening program.

But our staff aren't just counselors. We want you to do what matters to you while you're at camp.
Want to spend your summer outside, exploring the back country of Colorado and climbing mountains? We have a job for you. Does spending the morning playing soccer and the afternoon creating art make your heart happy? We have a job for you. Want to design a rocket that can make grilled cheese, but also land on Mars? We probably have a job for you, let's talk.
