Leadership & Staff Management

• Assign specific TAs to lead icebreakers, open mics, and swimming duties. Ensure everyone knows their jobs for the day.
• Actively monitor the energy of the camp. If students seem drained or the TAs are burnt out, shift the evening activity.
• Serve as the primary liaison between the program director/instructors and the TA team.
• Act as the first responder for minor student issues (homesickness, student/roommate friction) or TA scheduling conflicts.
• Make announcements as needed before the morning meeting or at the evening reading

Administrative & Logistics Coordination

• Work with the program director to maintain and update logistics for the week, including airport pickups, van schedules, and room check rotations
• Coordinate directly with Campus Security for any building/ dorm access issues and van reservations.
• Oversee the “Anthology TA” to ensure the deadline is met and the files are delivered to campus printing on time.
• Manage the supplies run list and handle the logistics for birthday cakes or special event materials.

Residential & Safety Oversight

• Finalize student room assignments and ensure the list is in Security’s hands by the first evening of camp (can collaborate with another TA on this if desired)
• Ensure the room check process (10:30–11:00 PM) is being executed consistently each night
• Lead the final check–work with other TAs to make sure check out procedures (linen stripping, key card collection, etc.)
