Recreation Assistant (Camp Counselor)
About The Position
The Town of Yountville Parks & Recreation Department is looking for enthusiastic Recreation Assistants to help run our Summer & Day Camp Programs. This is more than just a job—it’s a chance to make a real impact while having an absolute blast. Love working with kids? Thrive on creativity, adventure, and making every day an experience to remember? If you’re all about games, laughter, and leading with energy, we want YOU on our team! 🎨🏃♂️ What You’ll Be Doing: Bring the energy – lead games, arts & crafts, and activities that keep kids engaged and excited. Be a role model – create a fun, welcoming, and safe environment. Keep things running smoothly – set up, clean up, and make sure play areas are ready for action. Think on your feet – be ready to jump in, solve problems, and keep the good times rolling. Stay prepared – first aid & CPR may come in handy (we’ll get you trained if you aren't already). 💡 What Makes You a Great Fit: You’ve worked with kids before or love taking care of kids and being in the mix. You’re creative, energetic, and great at keeping things fun. You communicate clearly and can lead a group with confidence. You’re up for working outdoors - rain or shine! You have (or are willing to get) First Aid & CPR certification. You will be at least 16 years of age by July 2026. 🎉 Why You’ll Love It Here: Spend your summer outdoors doing something meaningful. Build leadership, teamwork, and problem-solving skills. Work in a supportive, fun, and high-energy environment. Flexible hours for the summer.
