I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at The Y (YMCA) (New York, NY) in Apr 2025

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.
