CORE RESPONSIBILITIES

The primary responsibility of the Summer Camp Overnight Supervisor will be to oversee and monitor clients and facilities from 10pm-6am. Generally, all campers are asleep during this time but may come out of their private rooms during sleeping hours and need some level of support. The overnight supervisor may accompany the client until they are ready to go back to bed. At times, this person may need to support camper hygiene, providing behavioral support when needed, and ensuring a safe camp environment. The Overnight Supervisor will need to remain awake through the night to ensure all campers are accounted for.
