Campers choose minute‑to‑minute how to spend their time because making decisions today helps to build the self‑confidence they’ll need to wrangle unknowns tomorrow. We value empowering our staff to be their whole authentic selves because everyone in our community needs to feel included. Sound like something you can get behind? If so, we’re looking for team members who are motivated babysitters, teachers, coaches, students, athletes, artists, and anyone ready to play hard and be goofy. Job Responsibilities Staff members will be responsible for facilitating activities, making connections, and monitoring safety and wellness. Some staff members will create or oversee activity spaces in which campers self‑select activities, while others will work in rotating support roles throughout the camp. The best way to find out what your specific responsibilities would be is to speak with your local director, but activities include sewing, stop‑motion animation, maker space, performing arts, arts and crafts, lounging, recreation, and so much more.

Would sparking up conversations with staff, campers, and parents fit in your comfort zone? If it is out of your comfort zone, are you willing to grow in this area? How would you feel about having challenging conversations and sometimes sensitive interactions with families? Are you the type of person who can’t rest until you’ve done everything possible to make someone feel cared for? Like, if someone you knew was in need, would you do more than send them a “thinking of you” text? Can you multitask like you’re a Hollywood power agent all while keeping calm, level‑headed, and nice? Do you have the stamina to keep up (literally) with 4–12 year‑old’s bursting with energy and creative potential? And, can you bench press the equivalent of a kindergartner (just kidding — can you lift up to 30 pounds)? Are you passionate about sharing your knowledge & learning something new (even from a 3rd grader in the sewing studio)? Does the idea of guiding kids while they make decisions for themselves excite you? Are you calm under pressure and able to calm those around you? Are you comfortable leading groups of kids on your own while still collaborating with a team? Do you have the stamina to keep up (literally) with 4–12 year‑old’s bursting with energy and creative potential? And, can you bench press a kindergartener (just kidding — can you lift up to 40 pounds)?
