2013 Camp

I'm stalking the Girl Scout Council's employment page, waiting for the seasonal application to show up. It says 'coming in January' but I keep looking anyway!

Yup -- just hired for my FIRST camp job! The position has been offered but we have yet to finalize details. The camp Director is pushing for an "even trade" for my 3 children's tuition for two weeks but I feel I should be requesting $$ too as I'm soley responsible for 150-200 camper 24/6, 7th day off.

Any insight on your own experience or what I should expect?

where did u get hired at?]

I got an offer, but does 2 days off (in a row) for the entire 4 weeks sound right to you? The pay is a lot lower than I was hoping. I've emailed asking if this was the best offer they had for me. Meanwhile other applications are out there in various stages of progress.

I was hired at a private camp in NH. Any advice?

I'm a new just trying search for my first job

I looked on Craigslist and did a search on google for camps and looked @ their websites and sent info. It's actually easy to find opportunities... Hit the Internet!! :)

I've never trained tuition for work so I can't help there. However I agree check the Internet. DO NOT go through an agency. They take your money for no reason.

Well I just signed my 2013 contract. I just can't seem to stop this camp thing. Is anyone else signed or working towards their summer job?

Hey Al, I just completed my application to your camp! I had started it several weeks ago, but, you know, you can't rush these things! ;D

Well I hope I goes well! Thu are starting to staff now, but it won't start in earnest until the head nurse gets back from her winter spot in PR.

I will be going back to Camp Quinipet in Shelter Island, NY to work for one week. I have 2 weeks vacation from my regular job and my kids have been talking about going back to camp non stop since last summer, so we'll be spending a week at camp! I'm really looking forward to going back.

I am working at a Boy Scout camp this summer. I use to work there when I was younger. I had a goal to work at least one summer. I got a job as the first ever full time cub scout camp nurse so I get to setup my building and everything from scratch. Both nervous and excited since I have to meet my state and the Boy Scouts of America's policies.
