Basketball Coach

Basketball is everywhere at Camp IHC. Everyday you can hear the thump of the ball or the squeak of sneakers on courts. Whether it's a pick-up game on the bunkline, a scheduled game on one of our many courts, or the solitary dedicated baller shooting hoops--there is always a ball in play. At Camp IHC basketball coaches will teach around five to six periods a day. You'll run classes with campers from 6-16 years old with a variety of abilities. There will also be opportunities to coach specialized classes to more advanced basketball players. You'll referee competitive games, coach IHC teams against other camps in tournaments and help campers gain a better understanding of the sport. Basketball is one of the "classics" at camp. Our Camp Director Joel Rutkowski even started his IHC journey as a basketball coach back in the 90s! Being a basketball coach is an incredibly rewarding job, but it's not an easy job. You'll have groups of campers with different abilities in the same class or campers who just aren't into it that day, so at times it will challenge you. But you will love it and you will get to see your hard work pay off when you see your campers hit game winning shots, or learn a crossover for the first time. At the end of the summer your coaching and leadership skills will become more defined and polished. At Camp IHC you'll be a role model both on and off the court to our campers. They will look up to you in so many ways and as cliche as it sounds, they will 100% have an impact on you too. Camp IHC is located in northeastern PA. We are a residential camp that hosts a 8 week experience for campers aging from 7 -16 years of age. At Camp IHC you will be: … a part of a high energy and highly spirited staff where the individual is the priority. …able to unplug from the TV, IPOD and other noises of society for a while and have fun in the outdoors, where people and nature are your influences. …in an accepting environment leading to a lifetime of memories. … a member of a large family, where counselors value their relationships with their campers and co-workers.
