Summer Camp employment opportunities are available! Volunteer, Counselor in Training (CIT – at least 14 years old) and paid Staff positions are available for our program areas including Aquatics, Handicraft, Scoutcraft, STEM, and Netami (first year campers). Help is also needed at the Dining Hall and Trading Post. As you can see, there is something for everyone at camp!
When is Summer Camp? Staff week gets started the second week of June and camp runs through July typically will run through the end of July. Lodging and meals are provided. If you have any scheduling conflicts, just let us know and we will do our best to accommodate your request.
What if I don’t have camp experience? You will be trained! Staff week provides time to get to know the areas of camp so that by the time campers arrive you will feel part of a team prepared for our campers!
