Work Periods

Choose the work option(s) you prefer and indicate your availability:

FULL-TIME (Full-timers work 40 hours a week, receive a $50/week stipend, and are housed in a dorm room. They fill the key positions and therefore we need people who can stay for the full season. A full season generally starts in April or May and runs through October, however full-time applications are accepted once the season has begun. The start date for each job is different and depends on the type of work and availability. Indicate your general availability below.)

PART-TIME (Part-timers work 30 hours a week, do not receive a stipend, and bring a tent to camp. They fill the support roles without which the campus could not function. Part time work periods can be approximately 2 weeks-4 ½ months. Our preferred part-time work periods are May 12 to June 29, June 30 to August 24 and August 25 to October 5. Dates and length of stay will be discussed during the interview. Indicate your general availability below.) Please note - we have a limited number of short term (two week miminum) part-time only positions available. If you are interested in being considered for one of these openings preference is given to those who can work August 11 to 15 (and either the week before or after).
