Dates, Positions & Salaries

A hundred years from now it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove… but the world may be different because I was important in the life of a child.

It’s true…and…like the rest of us, you’ve got bills to pay—and you deserve fair pay for your work. Bottom line is, you won’t get rich working at camp. You can undoubtedly make more money working a 9 to 5. But we truly value you and the impact you make. That’s why we pay better-than-average summer camp salaries. Also, consider this: summer camp staff typically save more money than their non-camp peers because their living expenses are next to nothing during the summer. Trust us, nobody ever regrets working at summer camp.
