Camp Overview
Camp Towanda is the premier co-ed, 7 week sleep-away camp for children ages 7-17, nestled in the Pocono Mountains of Northeast Pennsylvania. We offer a well-rounded program of activities from sports to the waterfront, Outdoor Adventure, and the Arts. When you work at Camp Towanda, you get hands-on experience and leadership opportunities, while building skills that any future employer is looking for, such as flexibility, adaptability, initiative, self-direction, social and cross-cultural skills, productivity, accountability, leadership, and responsibility. Working at Camp Towanda is multi-faceted. Your spirit, creativity and leadership is paramount. Summer camp is an immersive, full time, 24-hour job.
