Camp
Anokijig
is constantly searching out quality staff personnel who are willing to
become a part of a team in developing a quality camp program. Each staff
person is looked upon as
the
key to
the
camp’s success. Only those individuals who are willing to give of
themselves
for others;
who practice a positive way of life; and set a good example for those
they
will seek to work with, need complete an application for staff
positions.
It must be understood that all Staff Aides and Junior Staff are
volunteers and will be under
the
direct supervision of
Camp
Anokijig.
Duties will vary from program activities, camper groups, kitchen duties,
and maintenance projects.
STAMPER
POSITION
This position is open
to those individuals who are at least fourteen years of age. The Stamper
position is a cross between camper and worker. By entering into
the
Stamper position you will be charged a reduced resident camp fee in
exchange for performing kitchen or maintenance duties for portions of
that week. All Stampers can also be involved in regular camp activities.
Other
privileges may include extended nighttime curfew and program
opportunities. The Stamper position is an opportunity to prove your
abilities and dedication. Stampers generally are more likely to make the
transition to Junior Staff positions. Work your way to a great summer
camp experience.
JUNIOR STAFF
POSITIONS
This position is open to
those individuals who are fifteen years of age or older and until
graduation from High School. Junior Staff members’ job responsibilities
have two different phases. Junior Staff are assigned to camper groups.
Under the direct supervision of Senior
Staff, Junior Staff will work as a counselor in training and will be in
direct contact with the campers. Camper
group duties include sleeping in the
tents, dining hall supervision, and general supervision in
the day-to-day care for the
campers. The second phase of the
responsibility is an assignment to a program area. Once again, under
the supervision of a trained Senior Staff member,
Junior Staff will assist in the
teaching and supervision of the campers
at the program areas. Program areas
include: swimming, canoeing, horseback riding, Day Camp, trip camping,
and maintenance.
Benefits from
the Junior Staff program include leadership training,
program skill training, room and board, and the
availability of a job reference, if desired, for future employment.

VOLUNTEER WEEKENDS
Prospective Junior
Staff/Stampers may also want to be involved in our volunteer program.
When summer camp is not in session, Camp
Anokijig becomes a retreat
center. During many weekends and some weekdays, camp needs volunteers to
help out with
the activities offered. Duties consist
of some kitchen duties and assisting in the
supervision of program areas. Involvement in these
off-season programs allows the
potential staff member to exhibit to the
camp management their skills,
abilities, and potential for success in the
summer program. It also greatly enhances the
chances for acceptance to the summer
staff.
