How Do I Benefit by Working at Camp?

Becoming a member of the Camp Staff is the premier opportunity for leadership and volunteerism which are an integral part of making Scouting programs throughout the Council much stronger.

AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER
Why camp is more than just a summer job….
GENUINE CONNECTION
The essence of camp is in the human relationships we forge — something we are all craving right now. Camp is a lifeline that brings even the unlikeliest of people together in the most unimaginable ways.
BETTER TOGETHER
Being isolated for the past year has taken a toll on all of us. We can function on our own and even thrive, but when we are at camp together, the caring and supportive environment brings out the best in one another. Be part of a team that can move mountains.
LEADERSHIP BOOT CAMP
The kind of leadership that’s not taught in books, classrooms, or TedTalks. Real, hands-on leadership that you can only learn by being responsible for a group of children. Camp provides leadership experience that will elevate your game for the rest of your life — at home, in school, and in your career.
IMPACT ON THE FUTURE
Immediately become an integral part in the development of the next generation. Positively influencing the emotional lives of kids who have had anything but normal for the better part of the past year. Become a summer hero who mentors and guides young people into contributing members of society.
