Position Purpose

The School of Health Sciences is hosting its annual Summer Camps. In these camps, high school students (10th

Our campers will take part in hands-on learning activities to provide them with fun and innovative opportunities to learn more about careers in health sciences. Each department - Interdisciplinary Health Sciences, Clinical and Diagnostic Science, Human Movement Science, and Public and Environmental Wellness - will be taught during the camp as well as the leadership concepts of ECLIPSE.

This position's work occurs in June of 2026. Those interested in the position will receive appropriate training prior to the camps. (This role will involve 8 hour shifts on days based on your availability). Please indicate your availability in your cover letter.

Job Duties

A major priority for the counselor is student safety; when camp staff and students walk around campus, go on group tours, go to and from lunch, or participate in other outside activities, counselors will be responsible for ensuring each student stays with the group. This will be done through regular attendance checks and headcounts throughout the day. The counselors will also help the faculty set up/take down and facilitate activities in the classroom or lab and provide help if students need guidance.

This could include making sure students are behaving properly and staying engaged in the lessons and activities. Morning and afternoon counselors will be present for morning/afternoon drop off according to the schedule they are assigned.
