2024 Employment Information
A Typical Camp Day
What does a day in camp look like for a staff member? Each staff member is assigned to one of our drop-off/pick-up sites where you will leave your vehicle for the day. You will ride on our camp buses for the majority of the day. Days consist of either one or two field trips, depending on the nature of the field trips (to see all of the fun things we have planned, check out our Calendars page). You will participate with the campers in all of the activities and supervise them while having a great time. You will work with a team of 3-5 other adults to care for groups of 45-55 kids. It is a blast!!
