What is Summer Camp?

For 9-12 weeks every summer, millions of kids attend thousands of summer camps across the USA. To make sure these kids have a summer they’ll never forget, Camp Directors search far and wide for fun and friendly staff who will share their camp’s values and create an inclusive environment. This includes making new friends, sharing new experiences, developing new skills and being outside! By the lake, by the pool, in the fields or in the forest – there’s adventure everywhere.

Real Experiences

Don't just take our word for it - this is just a snapshot of the amazing summers our participants have had, and the reasons they keep going back year after year.

A Theatre Specialist is the most creative, diverse and imaginative job you can have at camp. I was able to practice my own skills as well as developing children's confidence to take over the theatre stage.

I worked with children on the autistic spectrum at camp the summer of 2015 and 9 years later I'm still saying it was the best summer of my life!

Spending four summers working at an under-served summer camp has made me grateful in many ways and taught me the importance of creating opportunities for all children.

Lifeguard training taught me so much and really pushed me out of my comfort zone. The difference between when I started camp and left camp was unimaginable and I am so grateful for the experience.
