**JOB DESCRIPTION: Resident Assistant - Camp Counselor**
RAs are in charge of keeping the students safe, and planning great events to make camp fun. Talent Shows, 80’s night, trivia, outdoor and indoor sports, swimming, shopping, tourist attractions, ect. and that is just to name a few ideas of evening events that you might hold for the campers. We have plenty of ideas and we are always open to fun new suggestions. After the evening events, the students often wanna just chill out in the lounges and social areas of the dorm or go on rogue squad excursions around the city. It's your job to see to it they are safe, inclusive, and everyone is having a great time. Every student and everything matters.
RAs are responsible for the students when they are not in class. Class is typically 10am - 6pm Monday - Friday. The RA’s accompany the students to class on the train each morning and then are there to eat the family dinner and take them back to the dorm or out on the town after class ends.
