Summer Camp Baseball Coach

Camp Watitoh in Becket, Massachusetts is searching for a coach for our baseball program. These positions are “specialists” at camp, and live in cabin with campers through the summer season which runs from June 16th to August 10th. All staff members receive one day off per week.

Specialists at Camp Watitoh play a key role in creating fun and engaging experiences for campers, whose typical day revolves around running sessions for campers at their specific program area. Specialists start and end their day with the campers in their cabin, but during program time, they lead activities in their program area. This dynamic leads to not only building a relationship with the campers in their own bunk, but gives specialists the opportunity to get to know each and every camper throughout the summer. This position is perfect for individuals looking to gain experience in working with children, coaching or teaching, or those seeking internship opportunities in their field.

Specialists are responsible for the preparation of age specific lesson plans for their program area, engaging campers and staff during their sessions, maintaining their program area’s equipment, and communicating needs of their program area – such as new equipment or maintenance needs – to their program area supervisor.

The ideal specialist has completed at least one year of college or the equivalent there-of, is dedicated to creating a safe and enjoyable environment for campers and staff, and can implement fun and creative activities at their program area to keep everyone engaged through the summer. They work in collaboration with their co-counselors, who are general counselors, during non-program times on ensuring the emotional and physical well being of the campers in their bunk.

All bunk counselors are “OD” (on duty) two to three times a week at night. During these nights counselors are assigned a bunk (sometimes their own) to get campers ready for bed, ensure they are getting to sleep at an age appropriate time, and are safe.

Some educational institutions require prior approval before starting internships. It is the student's responsibility to check with their institution to be sure their position meets any requirements before they accept a position.

In addition to the salary, this position includes a travel stipend, room, and board.

Benefits:

• Competitive salary package
• Travel stipend
• Housing
• Meals/snacks
