Employer: Oakland University Expires: 08/12/2025 The School of Health Sciences is hosting its annual Summer Camps. In these camps, high school students (10th -12th graders) will explore areas of health careers. Our campers will take part in hands-on learning activities to provide them with fun and innovative opportunities to learn more about careers in health sciences. Each department - Interdisciplinary Health Sciences, Clinical and Diagnostic Science, Human Movement Science, and Public and Environmental Wellness - will be taught during the camp as well as the leadership concepts of ECLIPSE. A major priority for the counselor is student safety; when camp staff and students walk around campus, go on group tours, go to and from lunch, or participate in other outside activities, counselors will be responsible for ensuring each student stays with the group. This will be done through regular attendance checks and headcounts throughout the day. The counselors will also help the faculty set up/take down and facilitate activities in the classroom or lab and provide help if students need guidance. This could include making sure students are behaving properly and staying engaged in the lessons and activities. Morning and afternoon counselors will be present for morning/afternoon drop off according to the schedule they are assigned. This position occurs in June of 2025.  Those interested in the position will receive appropriate training prior to the camps.There is an opportunity to serve in this role full time for the the duration of the two-week long camps.  If you are unable to be available full-time, but can do either mornings or afternoons, please indicate your availability in your cover letter.
