Working under the direction of the Sultana Education Foundation’s Director of Paddling Programs, a Paddling Summer Staff will go on day canoe and kayak trips and overnight camping and kayaking trips for Sultana Education Foundation. They are responsible for helping the Paddling team deliver fun and educational programs for our campers. They will help unload and load kayaks and canoes, play games with campers, teach about the natural environment, supervise and lifeguard swimmers, help with overnight camping dealing with duties ranging from tent set up to food preparation to homesickness. Their goal will be to make each day the most fun it can be for each camper. A counselor will alternate weeks where they are on overnight programs with campers and day only programs.
