Overnight Camp Staff Position

If making an impact on the lives of young people helps get you out of bed in the morning, join our Summer Camp Staff for a challenging and rewarding experience of helping girls grow confidence, character, and courage. As a Camp Staffer, you will provide a blend of leadership, instruction, mentorship, and inspiration to campers while guiding them and sharing the joys and adventure of summer camp and program activities.

In addition, you will gain experience in curriculum facilitation, behavior management, effective communication, team building, risk management, child development, cooperative problem solving, and leadership. Depending on your role at camp, you may earn certifications for archery, low ropes, or lifeguarding. Already certified? Even better, you might qualify for additional pay!

No Girl Scout experience, not a problem! We are excited to diversify our staff to ensure representation for our campers.
