Team Leaders can grab a group of kids' attention at a moment's notice and get them moving! At Camp Galileo, Team Leaders are the glue for our campers – and will be remembered forever by their teams. If you are passionate about kids (and the arts, sciences and outdoors) and have a fun and energetic attitude, Camp Galileo is for you! As a Team Leader you will be intimately involved in supporting the overall camp program and will play an integral role assisting the Art, Science, Outdoor, and Kindergarten Lead Instructors in their classrooms. Experience leading groups of kids and working with parents is helpful, but not required - if you have a positive attitude and lots of energy, we can teach you the rest. Previous camp experience is a plus!
