High School Volunteer Internships
Grades 11-12
Minimum age 16. Minimum age 17 for riding interns
Get ready for an exciting
summer as a Sealth staff member! If you are a high
school junior and senior (or will be next fall) with leadership
experience, you can apply to be an intern for part of the
summer at Sealth.
After completing a required
training program (June 27-July 3), interns can assist
cabin counselors, riding staff, or program specialists as
“junior” staff members. Counseling interns will
plan the session with the kids and their counselor, help with
group living situations, lead activities, and do some of the
paperwork, too. Riding interns work with the horse program—assisting
with lessons, trail rides and caring for the horses. Interns
working in a specialty area such as crafts or the waterfront
assist the program specialists with prep work and teaching.
Upon successful completion of a training session, you can
choose to work up to three more sessions, depending on Sealth’s
need for interns (varies by year).
Requirements
Interns must be at least 16 years of age before their training
session begins and have the necessary skills and leadership
background to be hired. Riding interns must be 17 years of
age. For more information, call Camp Sealth at 206 463 3174,
ext. 35.
To Apply
Completion of one or two years of Sealth’s CIT or RSIT
program is not necessary, but is recommended. Acceptance is
based on qualifications, an interview and background check.
To apply for a high school internship, download and complete
a staff application form, three reference forms, and a criminal
background check form from the seasonal employment page, and
mail all forms to Camp Sealth.
