Jewish Camp Leaders

The USA has a vast number of camps that categorise themselves as Jewish, ranging from those that follow more progressive Judaism to others that follow and practice Conservative Judaism. These camps hire international staff for various roles at camp, but are particularly interested in hiring Jewish staff from around the world...And this is where Jewish Camp Leaders comes in!

Jewish Camp Leaders is a program offered by Camp Leaders and the application is the same as the standard Camp Leaders application.
