Is Camp Employment for You?

Summer Camp Employment

There are so many things a college student can do in the summer; camp employment is just one option. So why choose to work at a summer camp? Well the most obvious reason is a camp job is way more fun than most other short term jobs. You’re outside a lot, you’re goofing around with kids pretty much all day, and you get to live in a beautiful part of the country. It’s also true that being employed as a camp counselor helps you develop leadership skills, communication and organization skills. As you help the campers grow and learn new activities and personal skills, you do too. Working to make a difference in the lives of children, makes one in your own as well.

But perhaps the best thing about working at a summer camp is joining the tight-knit community of people that makes Rockbrook so special. It’s just so easy to make friends, you end up enjoying everything that much more. Sure, camp is employment and you’ll earn (and save!) some money, but it’s so much more. Rewarding, definitely rewarding, all around.

  1. Hi Jessi,

    My name is Miriam Ogden Wilson, I sent a application for a summer job with Rock Brooke Camp for girls, the first of April 2009 and I haven’t heard from you and I wanted to write to let you know I am still interested in a job with you if there are still openings.

    I was in Girl Scouts for 15 years from 1966-1981. I haven’t camped in a while, but I do love to camp and be with girls of all ages. I currently work as airector for Before and After school program which I am in charge of 24 kids.

    Looking forward to hearing from you.

    Thank you

    Miriam Ogden Wilson
