Whether it’s KinderCare Learning Centers, Champions, or Crème de la Crème, we build confidence for kids, families, and the future we share. And we want you to join us in shaping it—in neighborhoods, at work, and in schools nationwide.

When you join Champions, you’ll be supporting hardworking families and elementary-aged kids during out-of-school time, on school grounds. Whether you’re partnering with administrators to bring our programs to their district, or buddying up with students to aim higher, think bigger, and never give up, you’ll be leading the way toward inspired learning.

When you join our team as a Champ Camp Counselor you will:

1. Work closely with peers to successfully implement Champions curriculum.

2. Actively inspire participation while creating engaging and fun environments.

3. Supervise and lead all aspects of the safety and well-being of children daily.

4. Connect with parents and encourage family engagement.

5. Cultivate positive relationships with families and community partners.

Qualifications and Preferred Skills:

1. Previous camp counselor experience preferred.

2. Meet state specific qualifications for the role.

3. CPR and First Aid Certification or willingness to acquire.

4. Strong love for nature and outdoor activities.

5. Highly comfortable in or around water and familiar with water safety.

6. Should have versatile recreational skills.

Range of pay $13.10 - $28.40 Hourly.

Our benefits meet you where you are. We’re here to help our employees navigate the integration of work and life:

• Know your whole family is supported with discounted child care benefits.
• Breathe easy with medical, dental, and vision benefits for your family (and pets, too!).
• Feel supported in your mental health and personal growth with employee assistance programs.
• Feel great and thrive with access to health and wellness programs, paid time off and discounts for work necessities, such as cell phones.
• … and much more.

We operate research-backed, accredited, and customizable programs in more than 2,000 sites and centers across 40 states and the District of Columbia. As we expand, we’re matching the needs of more and more families, dynamic work environments, and diverse communities from coast to coast. Because we believe every family deserves access to high-quality child care, no matter who they are or where they live. Every day, you’ll help bring this mission to life by building community and delivering exceptional experiences. And if you’re anything like us, you’ll come for the work, and stay for the people.
