Camp dates are June 21 - August 25 for most positions. Lifeguards and leadership staff begin June 14. Our camp is located in Montague, NJ, and staff are required to live on site. Does this work for you? *
Back to basics living is a hallmark of our program: canvas teepees/tents, mosquito nets, latrine toilets, when it rains you get wet, cell phones used during time off in the staff lounge only…are you into that? *
We place enormous value on the moments we create to help campers overcome challenges, increase their ability to express themselves and manage their emotions, and learn from their mistakes. Creating this kind of community is tough! Are you up for it? *
Additional thoughts or elaboration on the three questions above?
We'd like to get to know you better!
Tell us a little about yourself. *
This question is open-ended -- we want to get to know you! Are you currently employed or in school? What experiences have you had working with kids? Have you been to summer camp before? What unique skill or talent do you have that you think would be fun to use at camp?
What are some of the reasons young people enjoy spending time with you? *
Why would we be downright foolish not to hire you? *
Think back to a time as a child when you made a mistake and got in trouble -- maybe pretty big trouble. Tell us about the adults who were involved in correcting your behavior and helping you through that situation. Looking back, what do you think they did well? What do you think you would do differently as an adult if a child in your care made a similar mistake? *

Will you be 18 or older before June 30? *
