Individual start dates are based on your position and whether or not you are scheduled for any of the Specialty Trainings listed above. At a minimum, Staff Training Week from June 11-18 is mandatory for all staff.

The first day campers arrive is Sunday June 20th which begins nine week-long sessions and four two-week sessions that ultimately finish on Friday August 20th. Sessions begin on Sunday afternoons and end on Fridays afternoons.

Staff reside at camp from approximately 1 PM each Sunday until 6 PM the following Friday.

Unlike most other camps, you have most of your weekends off (click here to learn more about weekends off and camp-sponsored Staff Trips). Exceptions are the first weekends for training and one or two weekends during the summer if you work with a two-week camp session. For returning staff, there are some opportunities to work before and after camp for additional pay.

For the majority of the staff, their last day is August 20th. Because the last week of camp is a smaller session by design, approximately one quarter of the staff finishing a week earlier on August 13th.

Pay is high compared to other camps at approximately $2400 for the full summer for first-year senior staff based on your qualifications and position. This does not include weekends or pre- or post-camp work. International staff are paid slightly differently based on individual travel and visa requirements. Pay is higher for licensed medical staff, returning staff and directors.

Room and board is free for all summer staff. Almost all staff members live in cabins and lodges with the campers. Some directors are housed in staff or family housing. Meals are provided, and the food is great!
