Camp Overview
Camp Saginaw is a traditional, coed, overnight camp in picturesque Chester County, PA. We promote developing relationships, community, independence, and self-confidence in our campers. Along with a comprehensive art, sports, and waterfront program, we also offer many exciting and challenging activities such as go karts, waterskiing, dirt bikes, ATVs, an Aerial Adventure course, and a 60-ft climbing wall and zip line. For over 90 years, children (and staff!) have experienced the "Summer of their Life" at Camp Saginaw.

Staff Time Off
Staff will receive two sets of off-days; one set in the first half of camp and one set in the second. Each set is 2 days and 2 nights together. Staff will also receive about 1 night off a week, and will have additional free time at night when not on duty.
Staff Qualities
Specialists (activity leaders) must demonstrate a strong aptitude in their specialty area and have experience teaching/coaching children. General counselors will accompany children to all activities and act as primary caregivers. All staff must be high-energy, flexible, have a sincere desire to work with children, and be willing to act as a positive role model.
