Just wondering if I did the right thing during an interview?

I did an interview for a summer job as a camp counselor and they said that I would be a good fit for the camp. They also expressed interest in me also working on the rock wall. The only caveat to that is that I’d need to take a certification class on my own time for it, and that I’d need to work more hours for it. I said that Id be more than happy to take the position, but since I’d need to take a class for it in my own time and money, as well as working a position that would leave me at heightened liability with the children, I expect to be compensated for it; and if not I was still more than happy to be a regular counselor. Was I too forward or was my request reasonable? They haven’t responded yet and it’s a day later.
