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 four-week season, plus troop mini and family camps.
