Wellness Wednesday with EAC Network

April 13, 2022

Camps ‘R’ Us is proud to work closely with EAC Network, a diverse 501(c)(3) social service agency that Empowers, Assists, and Cares for people in crisis across Long Island and New York City. Their objective is to reach individuals within our community through innovative programs that improve quality of life.

EAC Network, through New York Project Hope, has provided training and consulting services to our Camp Staff through the COVID-19 pandemic, and will continue to provide training for our team through the start of the 2022 camp season.

In addition, EAC Network provides programs and support groups that are free to public. Join them for their next Zoom, Heart Healthy Eating, on Thursday, April 14th, 2022, from 6:30 to 7:30 PM.

Did you know that Leadership is learned in a real-life context? At camp you will supervise others and engage in decision-making, behavior management, and living ethics — all necessary leadership skills for today.

Communication, collaboration, critical thinking, creativity, and contribution that are critical for success in today's world are developed and practiced at camp; they are skills and traits that can draw employers' attention to your resume.

Working at camp, you’ll be challenged to use critical thinking and problem solving in a myriad of issues from the health and safety of children to how to get 12 Campers to agree on the same elective in the afternoon.

You will receive on-the-ground, practical, real-life training in how to work with a team and help build the culture of your camp community.

Working at camp you will model professionalism and compassion by managing a group of Campers, while contributing to the growth and development of each individual participant

Imagining the world in new ways requires creativity. At camp, you will develop innovative and fun ways to engage an audience of three to 300 and implement alternate plans when faced with unexpected changes to the daily routine.

In fact, you may be eligible for college credit in some cases or able to use camp as an independent study, practicum, or internship experience. Ask your advisor how the skills you will learn directly relate to your major and will make you a stronger job candidate.

Camp provides a global, diverse experience without the expense of long-distance travel; it is not uncommon for Campers and Staff to experience a variety of cultural and unique activities over the summer.

Exceptional Managers are exceptional networkers. Network with other Staff and build connections to camp Alumni who can provide a link to possible internships or future job opportunities in a variety of careers.
