FULL-TIME (Full-time staff 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. Full time staff positions start in March, April or May, depending on the position and continue through October.)

PART-TIME (Part-time staff 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. You may sign up for one, two, or all three part-time options, but preference is given to those who can stay for more than one work period.)
May 7 to June 24  June 25 to August 12  August 13 to October 7

If neither of these options are possible for you, we do have a limited number of short term (two week minimum), part-time only positions available. If you are interested in being considered for a float position, please check off your availability below.
