Our Summer Camp Aide Program
Camp Aides are an important aspect of Briar Bush Nature Center’s Summer Camp program. Our Camp Aide Program is designed to give teens the opportunity to serve alongside summer camp staff while gaining naturalist, leadership, and communication skills, earning community service hours, building resume experience, and having a fun-filled summer.
Camp Aides will assist the counselors with camp preparation, group management, daily activities, preparing snack, camp cleanup, and more. Camp Aides are expected to model appropriate behavior and actively participate in games and activities, nature exploration, and camper support.
