Ideal candidates are: lifelong swimmers, or have had previous swim team or swim instruction experience.
Swim instructor positions for teachers and college grads. We do have a few swim positions for current college students with swim experience.
American Red Cross Life-Guard Training, CPR, First Aid certification course provided at Ramapo - no cost to swim staff.
Water Safety Instructor (WSI) course is also available.
Our swim facility consists of four heated pools. Each pool has its own supervisor and staff. You can see the swim facility on our website.
Our swim instructors work with the same campers all summer long. The swim instructor sees the same campers everyday and really gets to know their campers well. Since most campers are here six, seven, or eight weeks you have a lot of time to get to know your campers. A camper's counselors and swim instructor are very well known to the parents as well. You will be talked about by the campers everyday at the dinner table.
Transportation is provided for all NY City Staff. Buses meet in Manhattan (Paid position).

Our staff is made up of: Specialists or teachers from Bergen, Passaic, Rockland County as well as New York City who run our activity areas, Counselors are college students who accompany each group of campers and assist our specialists during the activity.
We have established a daily teaching curriculum for each swim level, but new lesson ideas and teaching methods are always encouraged and welcomed.
Camp Dates: June 28th to August 20th - (Total of 39 days)
Monday to Friday: the camp days runs from 9:00am to 3:30pm

We have worked hard to create a facility and staff-working environment that is enjoyable, creative, positive, and perfect for the summer. You will enjoy coming to work each day. We are looking for people who see spending a summer at camp as something they "get to do", not "have to do".
Interviews are being held via Zoom, FaceTime, and Skype.
We welcome any questions you may have please, call or e-mail us with them. You can email or call Brian at:
