American summer camps offer a wide variety of fun and exciting activities for their campers. With that in mind, they will seek staff who are able to teach those skills to their campers. Common activities include team sports, such as football, soccer etc.; water sports, such as canoeing, sailing; outdoor pursuits, such as zip-lining, climbing; as well as arts and crafts, horseback riding, theater arts, karate, computers and more. Prospective applicants should be able to speak to those skills they possess and their ability to teach those skills as well as their childcare experience.
