Daily extended care is offered for campers from 8am-9am and from 3:00-5:30pm; the ECC will oversee both shifts, but will only work an afternoon-early evening shift.

Work Hours (extended care runs from 8-9am and 3-5:30pm)
Estimated work hours amount to approximately 25 hrs per week. Though you will be overseeing the AM extended care, you will do so by managing through and with the Camp Director.

These hours are estimates and may vary on a daily and weekly basis.
Compensation
Extended Care Coordinators will be paid $350-$375 per week (6, 7, or 8 weeks depending on location) based on experience and level of education. You will be paid a stipend for training, setup, and cleanup, and will also be eligible for a performance-based bonus (linked to parent surveys and Camp Director evaluation) of up to $100 at the end of camp.
