Daily News | Summer means ‘getting paid to have fun’ for a Kensington play captain
My Summer Job is a weekly series that explores the jobs of seasonal workers in Philadelphia. Each week, we’ll share stories from a typical day in the life of the people who make summer happen in the region.
— several hundred streets that are closed to traffic, where the city provides play equipment and lunches for the children who live nearby.. Staff who supervise the teen workers each day watch over them as they walk between stops, carefully planning their routes and notifying neighbors about when the play captains will be around to lead activities.
From there, they moved onto the daily rituals they use to prepare for their work. De La Cruz volunteered to share a motivational quote, from Richard Branson: “If your dreams don’t scare you, they’re too small.” It’s one they chose from a book of flash cards each play captain carries with them, containing game ideas, safety reminders, motivational quotes and space for notes.
After the small crew parked their cart and set up a tent, team leader Johana Rahman reminded the play captains that even if nobody else was around, they should stay active and start up a game so other children arriving might want to join. As they played a game of keep-it-up, scrambling to keep a beach ball off the ground as long as possible, the teens giggled and gasped at each near-miss.
