Just so everyone is aware these are not team leader positions. The first you are primarily working in the museum running simulators. The second is new it use to just be done by regular team counselors. I can say from experience its pretty much a baby sitting job. Anyone who has ever been eald at camp youd be doing the job of the counselor basicly keep the kids entertained and there are restrictions as to what you can do.
