There is no application deadline. Hiring is ongoing until all positions are filled. Interviews are generally held anytime starting in January and continuing through the end of May, or until all spots are filled. We can occasionally arrange a video interview for those out-of-town applicants unable to attend an in-person interview.

Will you be available for an in-person interview (yes or no)?

If yes, what dates might you be available for an in-person interview?

Camp has two 4 -week sessions.
Session One runs from June 16 - July 11 (closed July 4th).
Session Two runs from July 14 - August 8.
Most of our counselors work both sessions. However, we often have several single session openings.

Are you applying to work BOTH sessions, only Session ONE, or only Session TWO?:

If your preference was to work BOTH, would you still be interested if the only spot remaining was for a single session?

As a group counselor, you (with the assistance of a high school aged Junior Counselor) will be responsible for 16 boys or girls each day. Group control will be an important issue. Generally, group control is not a problem the first few days of camp. However, a counselor may lose control over his/her group as the summer progresses. What causes this and how can it be prevented?

There are a variety of summer jobs available to college students/young teachers.
Why do you want this job?

Have you ever been convicted of ANY crime, including sex-related or child abuse related offenses? If yes, please explain. *

DECATHLON SPORTS CLUB
Pre-Employment Agreement

THE UNDERSIGNED AGREES TO THE FOLLOWING..........

I understand that the Decathlon Sports Club (hereafter referred to as “the organization”) will rely, in part, on the information I provide in this Employment Application in considering whether to hire me. I understand that it is important that I provide complete and accurate information and certify that I have done so. If the organization discovers at any time that I failed to completely and honestly provide any information requested of me in this Employment Application or during the interview process, I understand that my application will no longer be considered or, if I am working for the organization, that I will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment. Applicants or employees that present fraudulent documents for employment verification purposes will be terminated.

I authorize the organization to contact anyone that it deems appropriate to verify the information I have provided or to further investigate my background, past performance and suitability for employment.

I consent to being discussed by any person contacted by the organization and waive all rights to bring any action for defamation, invasion of privacy or any similar claim against anyone that provides information to the organization with a good faith belief that the information provided is true.

I authorize the organization to obtain background information about me from a consumer reporting agency. I understand that this could mean contacting any/all listed prior employers to verify my employment history. I understand this may also include checks into my credit reports, criminal history, driving history, worker’s compensation records, and possibly include administration of a drug test. I understand that if I refuse to provide such authorization, my application for employment will not be considered.

I understand that this Employment Application is not an offer of employment. I understand that nothing contained in this Employment Application creates a contract between the organization and me for employment or any other benefit. No promises regarding employment have been made and I understand that no such promise or guarantee is binding upon the organization.

I understand that if I am hired, I will be an employee "at will," meaning I am not hired for any definite length of time and either I or the organization can terminate my employment at any time for any or no reason.

If employed, I understand and agree that the organization retains the sole right in its business judgment to modify, suspend, interpret, or cancel, in whole or in part, at any time, with or without any notice, any published or unpublished policy, practice, procedure, process, or benefit.

If employed, I understand that I may be required to comply with federal and/or state Drug Free Workplace Laws and regulations. I understand and agree to comply with such laws.

If employed, I understand that as a condition of employment that I may be required to agree to and sign the organization’s confidentiality, non-compete, and/or other similar agreements. I also agree to notify the organization during the pre-employment process of any confidentiality, non-compete, and/or other similar agreements that I may have already signed with current and/or former employers.

Do you agree with the terms and conditions? *

Yes, I agree.
