Camp Overview
Camp Whispering Winds is located in the Willamette Valley of Oregon. One of three overnight camps operated by Girl Scouts of Oregon and Southwest Washington. Camp Whispering Winds offers lots of different programs including mountain biking, pottery, swimming, canoeing, and backpacking. The main focus of this camp is horses.

Staff Time Off
Staff have two hours off per day and at least 36 hours off between camp sessions. This often falls on a Saturday/Sunday but can sometimes but in the middle of the week. Transportation will be available for international staff to leave camp during the longer breaks.
Staff Qualities
We look for staff who are interested in furthering their experience in working with children. These jobs are both mentally and physically exhausting so we need someone who is able to dedicate themselves to the schedule. Flexibility is a must as the camp days are always changing, and each group is different. Staff need to be able to live comfortably with up to 20 other people (mostly women) and be able follow the Girl Scout Promise and Law.
