About Working at Camp

Working at camp will be one of the best jobs you’ll ever have. We’re not just saying that, we really mean it. Every summer, thousands of children from all over the country go to camp for a summer of fun, growth, and friendship. But we're not just invested in our campers; we're also invested in our staff. We know that our overall success is a combined effort, and we therefore strive to provide opportunities for our staff members to learn, grow and thrive too. 

As the weeks pass by, you and your campers will come out of your shells, take on challenges, and make new friends. There’s nothing more rewarding than that! 

Staff working at our overnight camps are required to live at camp and reside in the cabins alongside their campers. This is a seasonal, salaried position from mid-June to mid-August. Dates vary based on location. Food, housing, a travel stipend, comprehensive staff training, and days off are included as part of the compensation package.
