APPLICATION & HIRING
Interested staff members must submit a completed application form / returning staff form and provide the confidential personal reference forms to three appropriate references. An application is not complete until we receive all three references. An interview may also be part of the process. Hiring decisions will be made on a case by case basis with the goal of having all positions filled by March 15th. However, applications will be accepted until all positions are filled. Please apply early!
REMUNERATION

-
First-time employees: $75 per week (w/ meals & housing $344 per week)
-
Meals & housing value: $269 per week

TIME OFF
Personal time is strongly encouraged as the schedule allows for personal health, especially between camps. Vacation time or additional days off (for family events, weddings, etc.) must be arranged before arriving at Camp for Staff Orientation. Additional days off during the summer must be requested in writing two weeks in advance of the requested day and will be reviewed on a case by case basis.
VOLUNTEER POSITIONS
