Counselors |
|
Camp Woodbrooke seeks counselors who enjoy outdoor living and are enthusiastic about working with youngsters in our small camp community of about 34 campers and 16 staff members. Each counselor sleeps in a cabin with up to six campers. Sometimes there are two counselors in a cabin.
At Camp Woodbrooke everyone participates in the day-to-day life of the camp helping with food preparation, clean up, gardening, care of pets and cleaning the cabins and washhouses so counselors must be ready to participate in each of these areas. In addition it is hoped that each counselor has special skills in some of the following areas: arts and crafts, woodworking, cooking, camp craft, nature, skits, group games, swim instruction, gardening, life guard, overnight tenting, music and archery.
Starting salary is $1600 with additional pay for prior counselor experience and special skills such as Lifeguard certification, First Aid Certification, and WSI credentials. Counselors must be 18 years old with at least one year of college or equivalent experience.
Contract dates: June 15, 2008 to August 12, 2008 |

Helpers |
|
Helpers are young people, 16-18 years old, who volunteer to help with the life of the camp in exchange for the privilege of being at Camp Woodbrooke. Helpers assist in the kitchen with meal preparations and clean-up, assist with the garden chores, laundry and general maintenance. In addition helpers will be expected to join in the camper activities and help with bedtime. Helpers should come expecting to work hard, but will find that it is great fun to be part of the Camp Woodbrooke family. Helpers must be at least 16 years old before June 15.

Teen Program Leaders
|
|
There are four positions (two male, two female) open for the Teen Program. These three week programs are limited to just 10 campers each, ages 13-15. They will be based at Camp Woodbrooke, but will include field trips for hiking, biking, canoeing and other adventures in our area of southern Wisconsin. A service project in the local area is planned. Activities at camp will likely include pottery making, archery, woodworking, drama, puppetry and a building project
Campers and staff will sleep in tents and do much of their own food preparation. It is expected that the teen campers will participate in deciding some of the details of the program.
Position Requirements: at least 21 years of age, knowledge of and experience with outdoor skills, previous work experience and responsibility with teenagers, safety consciousness, patience, ability to work in a team situation and enthusiasm for nurturing young teens to assume increasing levels of responsibility. At least two of the four leaders must be certified Lifeguards. Two must have First Aid certification. Salary depends on training and experience.

Kitchen Coordinator |
|
The Kitchen Coordinator will coordinate preparation and cooking of meals for up to 70 persons, using mostly organic, fresh ingredients. Many meals will be vegetarian and it may be necessary to prepare vegan entrees for a few people. The Kitchen Coordinator will be responsible for menu planning and purchasing supplies, coordinating counselor and camper assistants who help with meal preparations and cleanup, and maintaining appropriately clean and orderly kitchen facilities.
Everyone at Camp participates fully in the life of the camp so the Kitchen Coordinator will eat meals with the rest of the camp and join in camp activities as time and energy allow. The Kitchen Coordinator should enjoy participating in a community setting with emphasis on the value of cooperation, the unique worth of each person and living in harmony with the natural world.
Contract dates: June 13, 2008 – August 13, 2008 with a possible extension to August 18, 2008 |
