Familiarity with scheduling software, safety protocols, and certifications such as CPR/First Aid are typically required. Strong communication, problem-solving, and leadership skills help you engage campers, manage staff, and foster a positive environment. These skills ensure a safe, organized, and enriching experience for all participants throughout the camp session.
