  • Summer Camp Coach
    Hubbard Family Swim School    Phoenix, AZ 85032
     Posted 15 days    

    Are you seeking an opportunity to help kids play, be active and unplug? Camp Hubbard's goal is to provide an environment for campers to feel safe learning new activities, stay active, have fun, and make friends!

    Since 1998, Camp Hubbard has provided hundreds of campers ages 4.5 to 16 years old, the opportunity to develop active skills to last a lifetime. We have watched our campers grow socially, emotionally and physically in a safe, positive environment. One week sessions, full day or half days, provide flexibility to attend camp sessions around summer plans.

    Coach: The Coach is part of the leadership team most closely focused on teaching sports and facilitating games and activities. They plan volleyball, soccer, basketball, baseball, and archery sessions that incorporate a variety of skills to introduce to new campers and challenge the veterans. The Coach works with the counselors to help each camper learn while having fun!
    Experience playing or coaching a particular sport is wonderful but not required. General knowledge of sports, as well as the energy to play and teach the campers is necessary. Leadership, organization, creativity, and patience is essential.
