I first got an email inviting me to A group interview that required everyone to work in teams creating activities for the kids and solving issues together. The interviewer would then point out good ideas discussed and criticize bad ideas. I then received an email to have a phone interview the week following to discuss my experience with children

Question 1
How would you solve a disagreement between two young campers
I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at The Y (YMCA) (New York, NY) in Apr 2025
Interview
The interview was virtual, making it easier for me as a college student, as I was not in the same area as where the job was located. It was either on Zoom or Google Meet.

Question 1
How would you handle two campers getting into an argument?
Simple, straightforward. Looking to hire anyone eager to work. Professionalism will set you apart but expectations are already low so there is no need to go crazy. Typical part time day camp process.
I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at The Y (YMCA) (Los Angeles, CA) in June 2023
Interview
Pretty Simple. It felt more like a meeting to see how you are as a person. I believe that as long as they know that you know the best course of action when working with kids, you could be a good fit.
