[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess a benefit of living in DC is they have the MYSEP program which guarantees a paid job to anyone 14+ that applies to the program.

When my kid was 14 they did this with friends and all were assigned to the same day camp as counselors.

Others managed to find either paid or volunteer work with various sports camps (that they often attended themselves when they were 6-12) for the sport they play.[/quote]

I would not want to send my little kid to a camp staffed by 14 year olds who didn't even have to meet any standards or criteria to be hired. SERIOUS YIKES.[/quote]

It's not "staffed by 14 year olds"...vs. maybe 10% of the staffers are 14 & 15.  None of the day-to-day teens working the camp meet any standards...it's a multi-sport day camp.  The 18/19 year old managers and FT staff are of course meeting standards and there is tons of coverage.

Give me a break if you think a multi-sport day camp anywhere (including the Headfirst camps at Sidwell....which also hire some 14/15 year olds) has much in the way of standards other than show up on time and be responsible.[/quote]
