We carefully choose our staff based on their enthusiasm, talent and dedication– many are former campers. Working at camp offers invaluable skill-building, training and enrichment opportunities that can’t be found anywhere else.

When you work at camp, you have the opportunity to:

  • Live, play and work in the great outdoors
  • Become a young person's hero
  • Make new friends from all over the world
  • Learn skills you won’t get in a classroom or any other job in the same timeframe, like teamwork, critical thinking and problem-solving, creativity, perseverance and a strong work ethic

Regardless of your career path, camp experiences allow you to learn and develop skills that will benefit you in any future endeavor.
