2012 Intern Program

Teens who turn 15 by June 18, 2012 are eligible to apply for this program. Junior Interns (“Juniors”) will assist the club manager and staff with daily duties and will support the staff in program areas (arts & crafts, sailing, swimming and tennis). Juniors may rotate through more than one program area during the summer, depending on their skills and the Club’s needs. We anticipate that Juniors will work 15-20 hours per week, for 3-5 weeks during the summer; this will be determined based on the final staffing configuration, the Junior’s skills and the Club’s needs.

We anticipate that Seniors will focus on one or two program areas during the summer, depending on their skills and the Club’s needs. We anticipate that Senior Interns will work 15-20 hours per week, for 3-5 weeks during the summer; this will be determined based on the final staffing configuration, the Senior’s skills and the Club’s needs.
