Summary
The Crest is an educational non-profit based at Willow-Witt Ranch – a beautiful 445-acre property in the mountains of the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument east of Ashland, OR. Learn leadership skills and gain valuable experience working with kids. Share the magic of our quiet forests, restored wetlands, and wildflower meadows with children from the Rogue Valley!
Join the team at The Crest and assist camp leads in managing activities and campers throughout the day. Activities will include games, crafts, hikes, basic science investigations, farm tasks, and habitat restoration projects. Campers will range in age from 6-11, grouped by age. Groups will consist of 10-15 kids. Help the lead instructor provide a high-quality camp experience in a safe and fun environment. Some typical tasks will include helping to set up, clean up and run the activities, taking kids to the bathroom, filling water bottles, applying band-aids, keeping kids on task, acting as sweep on a hike, playing games, doing crafts, etc. We’d also like you to bring your own ideas to this camp to keep it fresh – having a great game idea, craft, or hike activity at the ready will be extremely helpful to the lead instructor; the two of you will be team-mates.
The Crest offers an open, accepting, and supportive culture that aims to meet the needs of each individual. This means we train our staff in adverse childhood experiences, trauma-informed care, social-emotional learning (ACES/TIC/SEL) and work constructively with each camper and staff member to support everyone’s social, emotional, mental, and behavioral health while on our property.

Desired Qualifications: ● Of high-school age or older ● CPR/First Aid certified ● Positive, flexible, helpful, patient attitude ● Interest in K-5th education ● Interest or background in ACES/TIC/SEL ● Group management and leadership skills ● Enthusiasm for the outdoors and camp
Hours and Compensation: $15 per hour, 40 hours per week, M - F, 8am - 4pm 12 weeks of camp offered in 2022: June 13 - Sept 2 (The July 4th week will be Tu - Fri)
Scheduling to be coordinated and is based on individual availability. We are also looking for an assistant to ride the bus starting and ending at the Expo with a day that begins at 7am and ends at 5pm. We require a commitment to an entire week or weeks, not individual days.
