When you work at Moorelands Camp, consider this:

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: following a dress code, smoke free, alcohol free, drug free, having a curfew). *

I'll have to work at that
I get that - I can do that
I never thought of that

Please explain *

Working at camp is an amazing experience but can be very hard physically and mentally. 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 both mentally and physically tired! *

I'll have to work at that
I get that - I can do that
I never thought of that

Please explain *

You are a role model 24/7 at camp because you live at your job. Children and youth will always be looking at the example you are setting to know what they should be doing. *

I'll have to work at that
I get that - I can do that
I never thought of that

Please explain *

Moorelands Camp is a leadership development program and focuses on positive youth development. A genuine desire to develop personal leadership skills and lead youth is essential to ensure a positive summer experience. *

Please explain *

Moorelands Camp 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. Your resiliency will be an invaluable skill this summer. *

I'll have to work at that
I get that - I can do that
I never thought of that

Please explain *

There may be public health regulations and guidelines that you will need to follow as a condition of your employment. These may include but are not limited to showing proof of full vaccination, wearing a mask at all times, social distancing and limited interaction with other staff not in your cabin group. *

I'll have to work at that
I get that - I can do that
I never thought of that

Please explain *

At Moorelands Camp, we all live and work together on the camp property. You will most likely be living in a cabin with other staff and campers. You will need to adapt to living with others, away from your home. *
