There are many reasons to consider working at summer camp. A camp job not only provides you with experience working with children, it also helps you to develop skills such as leadership, teamwork, and planning ahead, which are skills essential to ANY job.
Most importantly, though, coming to work at Maple Key is like becoming part of a family. Our staff work together, play together, and form bonds that often last well beyond the summer season. Our main goal is building summer memories for our campers, but these memories are shared by our staff as well.
Here are just a few of the comments from staff after working with us:
"MKDC is great! You would love working there. There is so much friendship and joy at Maple Key. It's a wonderful place to work. Not a day goes by without lots of laughter and smiles." - Staff Member, 2010
"Maple Key Day Camp is a place where staff and campers form a true bond. The staff at MKDC work hard to not only know the names of all the children, but what they like to do, and how they like to learn. Which in turn is amazingly accomodating to all learning styles. Campers are able to make friends quickly because camp is a fun and safe atmosphere, even the most nervous camper can feel right at thome in just minutes. When I am a parent, my child WILL definitely go to MKDC... I wouldn't even think twice about it!" - Staff Member, 2009-2010
"You must have great patience and creativity. You have to be able to have fun and put on a smile no matter what your circumstances. You have to have a positive energy . You should be able to love the people you work with and love ALL the children equally. No matter their differences or their cuteness they should ALL feel the same amount of love from everyone around them. Finally, if you get the job you are in for the hardest BUT the VERY BEST SUMMER OF YOUR LFE!" - Staff Member, 2010-2011
