Required First Aid & CPR Training
If you are accepting a job offer for any position at Camp Chickami this summer, you are required to get CPR and First Aid certified before the summer begins. Please see the YMCA's spring training schedule linked on the right side of this page. It is not mandatory that you take these certifcation classes at the YMCA, but it is encouraged. If you take a class at the YMCA, it is free of charge and you will be paid an hourly training rate for your attendance ($8/hr). If you take a class elsewhere, the YMCA does not cover the cost and does not pay you for your attendance.
To register for a class, please contact Phil Wong at PhilipW@westsuburbanymca.org. Please note that, as Chickami staff, you want to register for ADULT CPR and First Aid classes.

New Leadership Postions
A note for returning staff: There is no longer a seasonal "Head Counselor" or "Assistant Camp Director" position at Camp Chickami. These positions have been replaced with "Chickami Program Directors", who will be full-time YMCA staff from the Youth & Family Department. This coming summer, the Chickami Program Directors will be Zan LaMothe and Leah Castellano. They will be interviewing prospective staff and have a say in the hiring process as part of their new roles. Welcome, Zan and Leah!
Peace, Love & Chowder,
Kate Connolly
