Working in the office at Camp Watitoh comes with an array of administrative duties that mirror the responsibilities of a traditional office, but more fun, since it’s in a summer camp setting. As the center of camp operations and the heartbeat of camp, our office staff is very much our communication hub and those who work there are an integral part of our camp community. The office staff are responsible for answering incoming calls, keeping parents updated, helping organize mail and working on special camp projects. We are seeking people who are a great mixture of professionalism looking to gain an immersive summer camp experience. The office gets to know every camper and has highlights of seeing them smiling on phone calls or when their face lights up receiving mail from home!
Responsibilities include:
– Being the 1st line of contact for all communication: answering phone calls from parents/camp families with a warm and welcoming voice, organizing tours, communicating with new camper families, organizing mail both internal and external (letters & emails)
– Acting as the hub of information and making sure campers, staff and parents have all the up-to-date information that they need
– Organizing camper phone calls home during the 3 phone call periods each day
– General administrative duties: data entry, running reports, word processing, spreadsheets photocopying, filing and storing paperwork.
– Making camp program announcements over the camp speakers to maintain the daily schedule
– Working on special projects for evening activities and special event days
– Spending time at our front gate, welcoming and announcing visitors
– Engaging as an active member of the camp community and assisting where needed!
