This summer is a ten week session- we are looking for staff that can work at least six of those weeks. Preference will be given to folks who can work 7 or more weeks. Weeks 1, 2, and 4 are often lower enrollment weeks, and employment those weeks is not guaranteed.
The work day is 8:45am – 4:15pm, with a half hour unpaid break that needs to happen on campus. We provide air conditioned, wifi enabled staff designated break spots. Staff meetings happen Mondays or Tuesdays either before or after camp, depending on your staff and the week.

Some leadership staff need a smartphone to access attendance files. Otherwise, we ask that phones be in your backpack unless you are on break.
You’ll need to get a background fingerprint done (even if you have done it somewhere else before) and complete a cori. We’ll provide you with all the information that you need to get these done. Fingerprinting is done through Identigo, not your town hall.
We’ll provide you with two staff shirts- you wear them each day unless you are in costume for a theme day. The rest of the uniform is “adventure ready” clothing- closed toe shoes (preferably sneakers, and no crocs allowed), shorts long and loose enough to move comfortably, a swimsuit that is camp-friendly, hat, sunglasses.
