Intern at Camp Energy
Intern at Camp ENERGY! Aug 4-10, 2018 (campers
arrive on the 5th).
Join our mission to improve the health and wellness of our
community. This internship is an opportunity for motivated undergraduate and
graduate students to augment their education and career preparation in a
variety of fields, including nutrition/dietetics, athletics/physical education,
pediatrics and adolescent weight management. For example, students interested
in nutrition can help campers personalize nutrition plans at camp and at home
and help lead nutrition education sessions, mentored by a registered dietitian.
A kinesiology major may help campers modify physical activities to their
ability and set exercise goals, mentored by a collegiate swim coach. Students
interested in behavioral health can learn how risk factors impact health and
weight in adolescents while they work with campers individually under the
mentorship of a pediatric psychologist.
During the internship,
students will support adolescents ages 11-18 in a week-long journey
incorporating education around nutrition, fitness, and healthy lifestyles.
Students act as camp counselors to directly foster the growth of camp
participants, offering individualized attention in structured group
programming. The internship will also provide opportunities for mentored
relationships, skill development (including leadership, accountability,
teamwork, and communication), and an experiential foundation for transition to
the workforce. This is a great opportunity to build a resume through
experience, service hours, and letters of recommendation preparing for graduate
school.
