We want you to know what to expect from "Camp Life". Please read through the statements below and enter your comments.

When you work at Moorelands Camp, to consider this:

  1. Moorelands Camp is a children's environment committed to Positive Youth Development. You need to be willing to set aside your lifestyle choices, to comply with, and support our standards (for example: dress code, no smoking or consuming alcohol).
    I'll have to work at that
    I get that - I can do that
    I never thought of that
    Comments:

  2. Working at camp is an amazing experience! Days are long and full of activity. You usually have a daily break. At the end of the summer you will be stronger, smarter and probably tired!
    I never thought of that
    I'll have to work at that
    I get that - I can do that
    Comments:

  3. Although at camp we have most modern amenities, living on an island, in a rustic setting, away from your usual life, takes some adjustment.
    I get that - I can do that
    I never thought of that
    I'll have to work at that
    Comments:

  4. You live at your job! Role modeling is 24/7! A genuine desire to develop personal leadership skills and lead youth is essential to ensure a positive summer experience.
    I never thought of that
    I'll have to work at that
    I get that - I can do that

  5. Moorelands is intense. This experience will push you out of your comfort zone - it will stretch you. You need lots of energy and loads of patience.
    I get that - I can do that

    Comments:
Leadership and Community
Moorelands expectation of our staff members is very high. Our programs are intentional; we want to use every opportunity available to have a positive impact on the youth we serve. Working at Moorelands requires a tremendous amount of physical activity, creative energy, emotional investment and patience.
  1. How will campers be influenced having you as a leader?

  2. Community Definition: a group of interacting people, living/working in close
    proximity with shared values and a common purpose.
    a) In your opinion what is the value, the strength of being part of a community?
    b) What would you contribute to our community?
  3. Tell us how your strengths align with the demands of being a committed staff team member.

  4. Tell us about any factors that may affect your ability to consistently fulfill your responsibilities as a staff member at Moorelands.
