Greater Newburgh YMCA's Camp Robbins summer program. As you know, working with
children can be a very rewarding experience, it can also challenge you to

Honesty, Respect, Caring and Responsibility. It is an expectation that staff

and fellow staff. We look for staff who are able to put their campers' needs
first, always have high energy, and are enthusiastic about the outdoors! We
pride ourselves in selecting staff based on prior work and volunteer
experience, certifications, educational background and recommendations. We also
strive to find staff whose enthusiasm and appreciation for the outdoors and
youth programming can contribute to our camp community. |

our summer camp and its happy and healthy campers. We are looking for those
