Applied online. Received and email for the date and time of the group interviews. At the group interviews we were split into groups of 10. Rotated through three rotations. 1st rotation we had to teach the group how to play a field game. 2nd rotation we were asked situational questions. 3rd rotation we had to role play situations based on given topics.

Question 1
How would you handle two campers getting into an argument?
Simple, straightforward. Looking to hire anyone eager to work. Professionalism will set you apart but expectations are already low so there is no need to go crazy. Typical part time day camp process.

Interview
Pretty Simple. It felt more like a meeting to see how you are as a person. I believe that as long as they know that you know the best course of action when working with kids, you could be a good fit.
