We are looking for someone who brings a high-energy, positive, and engaging presence to the summer—someone who naturally steps into a leadership role while keeping things fun.

The ideal candidate is active, team-oriented, and excited to be fully involved in the kids’ daily experiences.

• Comfortable taking the kids to places like the Nakoma pool and getting in the water to swim, play, and actively supervise when needed

• Enjoys being outside and staying active—whether that’s swimming, playing games, going for walks, or planning fun activities

• Brings a fun, upbeat, and encouraging energy, similar to a coach or camp leader

• Willing to jump in and participate—not just supervise from the sidelines

• Confident managing schedules and transitions while keeping the day positive and structured
