PSR Camp Increases Wage Enhancements for 2015 Season

The Past
If you have worked at camp before then you've probably seen our established starter wages for new employees:

PSR Summer Camp Employee Compensation (per week)
       $210 for student employees (SE1)
       $225 for counselors & class instructors (C & SE2)
       $240 for specialized/certified instructors (SE3)
       $255 for head instructors (PC1)
       $270 for leadership supervisors (PC2)

What you may or may not know is that PSR Camp offers the following wage enhancements:

PSR Summer Camp Employee Wage Enhancements (2014)

   +$10 per season of camp work experience at PSR (veteran enhancement).
   +$5 per season of camp work experience (at any summer or day camp).
   *Staff who are promoted must make at least $15 more than they did the previous summer.

The Present
After our annual budget review, we've decided to increase the enhancement scale for the 2015 season for our employees. Our goal is to put every dollar we can into the pockets of our staff so they can afford to work at camp and attend college & university.

PSR Summer Camp Employee Wage Enhancements (2015)
   +$15 for every season of camp work experience at PSR.
   +$10 for every season of camp work experience (at any summer or day camp).
   *Staff who are promoted must make at least $25 more than they did the previous summer.

Any Questions?
If you have any questions about camp wages, wage enhancements, etc... you can always send me an email.

Blessings,

~Jeremy
