Summer First Aid information

What is a summer first aid?

Summer First Aid jobs typically involve providing basic medical assistance and emergency care during summer programs, camps, sporting events, or other outdoor activities. Individuals in these roles are responsible for treating minor injuries such as cuts, scrapes, and insect bites, as well as responding to more serious medical situations until professional help arrives. These jobs often require first aid and CPR certification, and may also include educating participants on health and safety practices. Summer First Aid workers play a crucial role in ensuring the well-being of everyone involved in summer activities.

What skills and qualifications are needed for summer first aid?

To thrive as a Summer First Aid provider, you need strong knowledge of first aid procedures, CPR certification, and the ability to assess and respond to emergencies. Familiarity with first aid kits, AED devices, and emergency communication systems is typically required. Excellent communication, calmness under pressure, and teamwork are crucial soft skills for this role. These skills ensure the safety and well-being of individuals during summer activities and enable swift, effective responses to accidents or health emergencies.

What challenges do summer first aid staff face and how can they be addressed?

Summer First Aid staff often encounter challenges such as responding to a wide range of minor and major injuries, working in outdoor environments with variable weather, and managing multiple incidents during busy periods. Staying organized, maintaining a well-stocked first aid kit, and practicing clear communication with team members are crucial for effective response. Regular training and drills, as well as staying familiar with emergency procedures, can help staff remain calm and efficient under pressure.

Job description

Looking for five amazing humans to be Summer Camp Counselors at The Hangout PDX Art Program! (K–5)

We’re a hands-on art program looking for enthusiastic, creative, and reliable Summer Camp Counselors to join us in providing a fun, engaging experience for elementary-aged children (Kindergarten through 5th grade). This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working with kids, stays calm under pressure, and is excited to actively participate in art projects, play, and daily camp life.

Schedule: Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM – 3:00 PM 
Dates: June 12th through August 22nd (with a scheduled break from June 29th–July 3rd)
Pay: $18.00–$22.00 per hour, depending on experience

What You’ll Do:

  • assist with creative, age-appropriate art activities
  • Supervise and actively engage with campers throughout the day
  • Foster a safe, positive, and inclusive environment
  • Help manage transitions, behavior, and group dynamics with patience and consistency
  • Maintain and clean shared spaces daily—art projects and working with kids can get a little “icky,” so being comfortable with hands-on cleanup is a must
  • Contribute to a magical camp experience for our campers and their families!

What We’re Looking For:

  • A “cool cucumber” attitude—calm, patient, and flexible in a busy camp setting
  • A genuine love for working with children and a willingness to stay active and engaged with them
  • Comfort with daily cleaning tasks and maintaining a tidy, safe environment
  • Current Central Background Registry (CBR) number
  • Current CPR and First Aid certification
  • Strong communication and teamwork skills (We are here to have fun) 
  • Must have prior experience working with kids

Additional Information:

  • This seasonal position may lead to an employment opportunity with our K-5 After-school Arts program for up to three of our summer hires, based on performance and program needs
  • All staff must attend an all-employee meeting on Friday, June 12th to review expectations, policies, and procedures
  • Monthly staff meetings are scheduled for July 6th and August 3rd from 3:00–4:30 PM

If you’re creative, dependable, and ready to make a positive impact through art and play, we’d love to hear from you! Apply today at Hangout@thehangoutpdx.com.
