Acteeva Day Camp puts in a great deal of time and effort to select the best staff for our camp. We view our staff as both role models for our campers and representatives of the Acteeva community. Staff is an extension of our high standards and commitment to excellence. Please read this section carefully before applying as it will give you a sense of the staff we look for and whether Acteeva will be a good fit for you.
Commitment to Excellence
We are proud to have such comprehensive
employment screening and staffing procedures. This is a major reason
why our camp parents tell us that our staff is the best in the Bay
Area. Parents put their trust in us to thoroughly screen our staff
and they recognize that our extensive process of selection, training
and supervision goes above and beyond other camps and youth
organizations.
Staff Selection
Our application process has been designed to
ensure that staff is the best possible for the camp, the
programs, the Acteeva community, and most importantly, our campers.
Please see below for the steps in our application and selection
process.
