Youth Care Worker - Activity Leader

Youth Care Workers at LiFEsports are responsible for the supervision of youth throughout the LiFEsports summer camps.  Youth care workers are assigned to one of four camp responsibilities – Activity Leader (Recreation or Enrichment), Chalk Talk Leader, Leader, or group Counselor.  

Recreation Leaders provide sport instruction based on evidence-based curricula designed to support social skill development for youth. Specifically, Recreation Leaders lead four, one-hour sport sessions per day to approximately 15-20 youth at a time. Sports to be led by Recreation Leaders include: baseball/softball, basketball, dance, football, health & fitness, lacrosse, soccer, swimming, tennis, ultimate frisbee, and volleyball. Recreation Leaders on campus will be responsible for teaching only one sport while community-based recreation leaders will teach multiple sports. 

Enrichment Leaders provide instruction to youth in various enrichment activities such as art, science, and/or reading utilizing lessons developed by LiFEsports. Specifically, Enrichment Leaders lead four, one-hour classroom sessions per day to approximately 15-20 youth at a time. All Enrichment Leader positions are located off-campus at our community-based sites. 

Activity Leader (Recreation or Enrichment) and Chalk Talk Leaders help to set-up and ensure all program equipment is secure and properly stored. Additionally, Recreation Leaders, Chalk Talk Leaders, and Enrichment Leaders assigned to a campus program are required to monitor youth on busses before and after camp.
