I recieved a phone call from Amber Tippett, she asked me varied questions about children and why I would like to work with them, how I take responsiblity for kids, how to keep them safe, etc. etc. Also what my expirence working with children was. In the end it just came down to why I wanted the job and if she liked me or not.

Interviewed Apr 2008 (took a day)
You first have to turn in the application and then you wait until you receive a phone call or email from the director who then schedules an interview. The group interview engages you unlike normal interviews to see if your personality fits their needs. There is a short period of time and then you either receive an email with job acceptance or declination.

Interviewed May 2009 (took 2 weeks)
I applied online and was contacted by phone 2 weeks later. I was set up for a group interview with other participants/potential employees. We were asked to camp games, songs, discipline procedures, respond to certain scenarios and to see how we worked as a team. Most if not all of us had a lot of fun. It felt more like a gathering. This interview though got everyone involved and as to how we were really going to be when it came to being a camp counselor. I was invited for an interview after that meeting over the phone. After a brief discussion about the responsibilities and requirements. I was given an offer and accepted.

Interviewed Mar 2008 (took a day)
Was referred to the job by a friend who was a lifeguard. I was looking for a fun summer job, so I went in for the interview day. It was very informal (jeans/t-shirt) and you "interview" in a large group of people. Essentially, they want to see you you interact and react in large groups and that your personality stands out.

Interviewed May 2007 (took a day)
I was intially contacted over the phone to set up a time to meet with my hiring director. The interview was pretty laid back and informal asking about any prior experience, what I hoped to get out of the job, who some of my role models have been to see if I can be a good example for the kids.
