The Program Administrative Assistant (PAA) connects our camp team—mastering their own portfolio of responsibilities and assisting the rest of the program team with the administration and management of the summer camp programs. Camp is dynamic, and the PAA is always one step ahead in their preparation, not to mention agile to help when things change. From snapping and editing camp photos, to organizing hike to overseeing camper drop-offs and pick-ups, to crossing the admin t’s and dotting the i’s, the PAA keeps Summer Camp moving forward. Very strong organizational and interpersonal skills are a must, as well as a yearning for an endless summer!
