Working at camp is a life-changing experience. Camp staff are role models, self-confidence boosters, unconditional friends, caregivers, and cheerleaders. In the eyes of our campers, you are real-life superheroes who love to play as much as they do.
A job at camp can prepare you for your first year of college, managing your finances, living with roommates, handling emergencies, working effectively with others, and caretaking and supervising children and staff. You can apply the skills you learn over the summer to any profession you choose to go into.
It'll also give you incredible friendships that you'll have for the rest of your life. Real friends who will have your back and celebrate your successes.
First-time staff will need to participate in training specific to their position. Our staff training starts in the last week of May or early June. Staff will need to attend these in order to be prepared for their position. All adult staff members are required to become First Aid and CPR certified which is offered as part of training and some positions require more advanced certifications.
