Camp Counselor Test

Screen candidates for roles where people need to be comfortable working around children, handle frustration well, work hard and have team skills.

Purpose

If you run a children’s camp, you need camp counselors with the right skills, abilities, background, and training for the job. Their ability to work well with children of varying ages and developmental levels while still following camp policies is crucial. The Camp Counselor Test from Resource Associates, alongside a thorough background check, interview, resume, and references, will make you confident you are hiring the right team player.

What It’s Best Used For

This test is best used during the early pre-employment phase, alongside background checks, to vet summer camp staff, day-care workers, babysitters, youth organization volunteers, and nursery support personnel.

• Evaluating Frustration Tolerance: It identifies candidates who handle high-stress situations well and can adapt to working with children of varying ages and developmental levels.
• Measuring Teamwork and Hard Work: The test tracks an individual’s natural inclination to work collaboratively, complete tedious tasks, and respect corporate policy rules.
• Spotting Youth Leadership Potential: It highlights enthusiastic supporters who possess the soft skills needed to manage program activities, delegate tasks fairly, and build a positive, supportive environment for kids.
• Streamlined Candidate Selection: The unproctored platform delivers immediate online score reports complete with trait graphs, lists of developmental concerns, and suggested interview questions.

The test supports both English and Spanish configurations and is fully legal for use in Canada.

The test is able to identify Camp Counselor candidates with good managerial skills to oversee program activities, and who delegate well and work through supervisors to establish a collaborative environment, while being an enthusiastic supporter for children.
