What is a Team Assistant?
The best high school juniors and seniors, or even young college students, that a church group can bring to camp to be Adult Leaders for their week of CentriKid.
Team Assistants will get to spend more intentional time with the campers like staffers do! We want to train them to work and interact with the campers just like we train our staffers to.
Check out this video to see what the Team Assistant Program is about and what a week of camp would look like for them!
Bringing Team Assistants to camp can also serve as a solution to an issue that some Church Group Leaders have: a shortage of Adult Leaders. These students will count towards the standard 1 to 5 adult to kid ratio, and will be housed with your group like all the other adults you bring. But, as an added bonus, they’ll get to work alongside the CentriKid staff helping out with Recreation, Track Times, and Bible Study! This gives them a behind-the-scenes look at serving as a CentriKid Camps staffer.
This is also great for the campers to see people they already know from home help lead them during camp programming. Not only will it help the kids stay attentive, but it makes them realize just how cool these students are, because they’re like CentriKid Staffers!
CentriKid Staffers absolutely love Team Assistants! They don’t just help with camp duties, but they help make impacts in the lives of campers. That’s what CentriKid is all about! We want our Team Assistants to have the best experience so that they’ll want to become CentriKid Staffers as well. Many of our current staffers were once Team Assistants, and are now returning summer to summer to make a difference in the lives of kids!
