If you are traveling internationally or from afar this summer, please consider arriving to camp a day or two before your first work day. This will give you time to transition to our time zone and camp schedule.
Unless designated as a break day, all dates listed below are required workdays. All staff will have two paid days off this summer. Those dates to come!
If you have conflicts due to school or other commitments, please discuss them during your interview or email one of the directors on the summer team.
Staff get paid on the 15th and last day of every month. If that day falls on a weekend, staff will get paid the Friday before. This is for all staff, international and domestic. Paychecks will usually be handed out on Saturdays during our wrap up meeting (out-service).
