Earn Extra Money Working At A Summer Camp Katy, TX Children Love

By Henry Young


A lot of young people start looking for jobs before school ends. Some work in local restaurants and shops. A few get jobs at one of their parent's workplaces. Lifeguard jobs are usually very desirable for those with the credentials. If you are looking for something special to do with your vacation time, and earn a little money as well, you might consider working at a summer camp Katy, TX kids look forward to all year long.

There are camps for all kinds of needs, but most fall into two basic categories. There are the sleep away camps where children travel from their homes to a camping site and stay for a week or a month. Becoming a counselor at one of these camps requires overnight stays as well. If money is the driving force, then these types of camps will generate more income than some of their counterparts.

If you already have plans to vacation with your family or take a few days off to go to the beach, day camps might be a better option. Kids come for a portion of the day a few times a week. They may be dropped off and picked up by parents or travel by bus from home to the camping site. Children as young as preschool or as old as middle school age may be participating each day.

Many of the day camps are specialized. Some are geared toward arts and crafts and others can have fitness and health themes. Before you obligate yourself to one of these types of camps, you need to have some sort of interest and knowledge about the subject. Crafts and exercises that involve small children should not be hard to learn, but as the ages progress so do the degrees of difficulty and complexity.

Sports camps usually have waiting lists because they are so popular. Many parents try to enroll their children into them many months before registration even opens. Because they are in so much demand, and can be expensive, counselors are chosen for their expertise and experience in the individual sport. The ability to teach the rudiments of the game is another qualification.

Camps for special needs children can be a great opportunity for young people who are interested in an eventual career in social services or special education. You will have an opportunity to work with children who have all kinds of challenges. You will also be able to observe how older counselors interact with these special kids.

In somewhat the same vein, there are also special camps for children who live in under served communities. Many may be seeing things like lakes, tents, and communal dining rooms for the first time. Good counselors for these children have a lot of patience and are willing to meet kids wherever they are in their life experience.

Young people don't have to settle for waiting tables and selling merchandise to make extra money when school is out. There are opportunities to become counselors and make a difference in the lives of younger kids. The sense of accomplishment and lessons learned can last a lifetime.
