Nothing is more important than our staff and we know it.  If you are a hard working individual who enjoys children, you may be just the person we're searching for.  Staff members must be able to put kids first at all times.  It is also essential that staff members be strong role models for our campers.  And because we're working with kids, we have strict policies in many areas including alcohol, smoking, curfew, etc.  While it is preferable that our staff members have some experience working with children, this is not a prerequisite.  Many program areas require skills and certifications to safely operate and this is a priority.

We have over 400 summer camp jobs available.  Some jobs are highly skilled positions (i.e., lifeguard, horseback riding instructor, rock climbing, etc.), others require child care experience (i.e., general cabin counselor), and then there are jobs where you will receive all of the necessary training at camp.  If you are compassionate, hard working, and an excellent role model, we have a job for you!  Click here for an application.
