Camp Staff Application
Thank you for your interest in Camp. We are looking for highly motivated and energetic people to serve as role models for our campers. We want staff members who have a genuine love for children, like working out-of-doors, and want to make a positive impact on a child’s life. Summer Camp 2008 is in the process of being planned!
The campers are our responsibility, and there is no greater trust than that placed on us by the campers' parents. We are serious about making a difference in the lives of the girls who choose our camps and are looking for mature, fun, and responsible young adults to help us. Is that you? The most important aspect of being a part of the camp staff is the relationships you build with the girls. It is almost a 24/7 role, but it is one that we feel you will find very rewarding.
