What Staff Get From e21

 

Working at a camp that values YOUR success is life-changing.

A camp using e21 is committed to educating, encouraging and empowering staff to grow both personally and professionally during their time working there.

So what does working for an e21 member camp mean for you?

  • eXPERIENCE

    Working at an e21 member camp gives you a breadth of experience that is unparalleled in other industries. You’ll gain intentional training and opportunities to grow and develop in a wide variety of skills and settings.

  • eVIDENCE

    e21 camps focus on what you do, and are trained to document evidence of the skills and growth you demonstrate. You’ll leave with concrete examples of excellence instead of generic “good job” platitudes!

  • eMPOWERMENT

    e21 camps believe in giving staff autonomy and feedback, and in coaching rather than evaluating them. You will be able to contribute to your own experience and to the culture of the camp in general.

  • eNCOURAGEMENT

    e21 member camps strive to create a positive, inclusive and supportive environment for staff. Your emotional wellbeing and individual development is a priority, and your supervisors are trained to coach and mentor their staff.

  • eNDORSEMENT

    The work you do over the course of your job at camp is verified by their participation in e21. Creating a universal language and standards around your skill development means references are more likely to stand out.

  • eSSENTIAL SKILLS

    e21’s framework is built around six key 21st century skills, which are inherently used in camp staff roles and our member camps will prioritize your growth and development in these areas.
