What is needed from a Camp Leader?

Camp Leaders volunteer part time until camp begins in August where you, alongside 1-2 others on site, will run a camp of 40-50 children and 15-20 mentors. All work in the lead up to camp is flexible around your studies.
 
The Camp Leaders will work alongside the Directors and each other to organize the camp in the lead up to it and then run the camps in August.  This role includes tasks such as mentor recruitment, timetabling, organizing a trip to Oxford University and organizing external workshops, as well as managing the day-to-day running of the camp in August.

Being a Lauriston Lights Camp Leader gives you the opportunity to develop invaluable management skills and other transferable skills that will be useful for any employment you go on to apply for post-university. You will play a pivotal role and have a huge influence, not only within the camp, but  on the future of Lauriston Lights.  
‍

As a Camp Leader you will be a leader and a role model. Not only will you be setting an example for the children; you will also be a role model for the mentors, and hopefully inspire them to apply for the role the following year.
 
‘Being a Lauriston Lights Camp Leader taught me so much about leadership and management. I loved the level of responsibility that I had and felt fully supported within my team. I learnt so many invaluable skills and have been able to take a lot of what I learned into jobs and other internships I did afterwards.' Kitty, Camp Leader, 2016

‘I loved my time as a camp leader! The kids we worked with were amazing and working with another camp leader and mentors for an extended period of time meant I formed great relationships with people I am still in touch with now. I  developed really valuable skills such as leadership, communication and teamwork, which have bolstered by CV and helped me in job applications. Being a camp leader gives you a real sense of achievement - you can look back on the two and a half weeks with a real sense of pride.' David, Camp Leader, 2019
