[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. Those posting "camp counselor" -- nope. Many camp counseling jobs were taken long ago. It's not like June hits and camps suddenly realize, oh, we need counselors. They might have an occasional opening if someone has to drop out/gets sick/whatever at the last second, but most camp counselor jobs go to kids who already know that camp and are known by that camp. Not something you just waltz into at the last second. I was an adult staffer at a summer camp for five summers pretty recently, and our teen staffers were committed as far back as January of that year.

[b]Also, agree with the PP above re: lifeguarding. It's a serious pursuit with lives on the line and you must pass tests and get certifications.

OP, the best response is the one where the person said your son should set up some things like yard work, dog walking, anything that lets him set up his own hours and by-the-hour tasks. I know -- that's not always easy to do either. Wish I knew you - I would LOVE to hire a go-getter local teen to do some yard work for us but know no one to ask and there aren't teens just hanging out in our neighborhood....[/quote]

Most pools in our area are looking for lifeguards but they need to be lifeguard certified and CPR certified.  [/quote]
