Summer Camp Employment
Picture yourself as camp staff this summer!
Laughter. Campfires. Friendship. Do something that you believe in!
That's what our camp staff and counselors experience when they join our Girl Scout summer camp team.
Our summer staff are recruited from around the world. They are college students, mothers, teachers, and others who enjoy working with children. They all complete an application and interview, provide references, and undergo a formal background check. All staff complete an intensive pre-camp training orientation before campers arrive. We host two overnight camps with 30-40 staff and up to 70-120 girls who attend one week to four-week sessions during our 6 week season.

I am Tonia Stewart, the Director for Camp Pondicherry. I am so excited to return to Camp Pondicherry for a second summer.
As an Appalachian Trail thru hiker and avid outdoorswoman, I enjoy passing on my knowledge and love for the great outdoors. One of the things I look forward to most this year at camp is watching campers grow independence and develop new skills.
I am very excited for the upcoming camp season and look forward to seeing all of you at Pondi in 2024!

Hi! I'm Barbara Ireland "Rico", Camp Natarswi's Director! I grew up at Camp Natarswi and have spent the last 24 years participating in resident camp! 14 of those years as staff! Though the years I have been a camper, a CIT 1 & 2, a unit counselor, an archery and rock-climbing instructor, program director, assistant director and director! Natarswi is my favorite place to be and I wouldn't want to spend a summer anywhere else! I love being at Camp Natarswi because not only do I get to be in the great outdoors, with a pretty awesome view, I also get to provide a camp experience that makes campers want to come back for years to come! Girl Scout camp taught me to be a strong, independent, enthusiastic, and confident leader and I love to pass those virtues onto our campers. I can't wait to meet all our new campers and see the smiling faces of those who are coming back for another summer in 2024!
