We hire up to 20 staff every summer, Our camp is unusual in that we have up to 54 girls per week so staff have both cabin counseling and program responsibilities. As a cabin counselor, staff are role models, best friends, entertainers, inspirations, big sisters, and “parents” to their cabin group.

Program responsibilities include teaching and managing in a specific program area such as arts & crafts, sports, or riding. we look for staff who love working with children and are creative, fun, and patient. We also look for staff with excellent teaching skills, and strong skills in at least one program area. 

Because of our small size, we can create a position specifically designed for individuals with a variety of interests or talents. For instance, someone might work in the arts & crafts program for a short time each day, then take a group on a nature hike, teach sign language, or juggling, and then help with gardening, cleaning, or office work. This allows staff the opportunity to try new things, develop skills in a variety of of areas, and to enjoy working with a diverse group of campers and other staff. Never a dull moment at SJ!
