I teach year-round and need a summer job. Last couple years I was a morah in a daycamp upstate. Pay was $2000/month plus free daycamp for my kid (no free bungalow). I have 20+ years experience working with kids and a master's in education. I know they can replace me easily with someone without those credentials, but I also know I can also make more $ than that elsewhere.
So I am curious in Brooklyn what they typically pay morahs (not counselors) in day camps?
Yeshivish type camps
Thanks

Seems really low salary to me but best is to call a few day camps and ask how much they pay.

Letting your kids go to the camp free is worth about $1000 per kid or more.
Harder to find a decent job when your kids aren't day camp age anymore and that doesn't help. I'm there now, trying to figure out if there's anything better out there for those of us who work in schools and can't afford the summer off.

I have a special ed degree. I've done seit (hard to find in summer now) and special ed class in the past. I almost took a job in a daycare one summer. I hopefully have options that pay better than daycamp. But I also don't want to work tooooo hard.

No it's not, because they aren't offering more money regardless. It costs them almost nothing to add more kids to the program, relative to what it would cost to pay the staff in cash. If they literally won't offer you more than $2000 in money but they will take as many of your kids as you want to send while still paying you $2000, then you win. Big time, if you would have otherwise sent those kids to camp for $1000 each.
I worked in several different day camps with different amounts of my kids attending and the bottom line always worked out very much in my favor. Once I switched to cash only, the salary is not favorable at all. I don't know if they're just cheap or if camp is really not that profitable, but on my end it's quite the letdown.

I have worked in education for over a decade. I have been paid $1000 plus free day camp for my kids. $2k is a lot.

I worked in a camp in brookly. I'm pretty sure my salary was 5000 for the summer plus camp for my girls (baby and 4 year old)

I only have one kid in daycamp so it's "like" $1600 or so added to my paycheck. if the camp where he would go has a job for me
