Guided Discoveries is looking for college students who are passionate about working with children! Our summer camp in Clover, VA is looking for counselors for its AstroCamp, Camp CHOP, and Camp Motorsport programs. Summer camp provides a wonderful supplemental experience for education and counseling students. Your students will have the benefit of working with children in a more relaxed environment, allowing them to connect with children on a different level and in a different time frame than is often able to take place in a formal school or clinical setting. Many of our staff continue on to teaching and counseling careers after leaving us, and they all have benefitted from the skills and experiences gained by working at our summer camps. It’s a great way for current students to gain real-world experience and to get paid for it! Plus summer camp is just... fun! Our staff have opportunities to be creative, mentor children, make lasting, meaningful friendships, and develop skills that will benefit them in their personal and professional lives. If interested in a summer position with us, see the attached flyer, and we encourage you to apply here. The hiring manager (also listed on the flyer) is our Summer Camp Director, John Swanwick (john@gdi.org).
