Traditional Summer Camps
The epitome of the beloved summer camp experience.
The most common type of summer camp, traditional camps are what many first think of when you think of camp in America. Many of the following groups of camps will fit under 'traditional camp' as well, so keep your preferences open!
Specialist Camps
These summer camps have a specific theme or focus, and provide a higher level of teaching, coaching, or training in that activity.
These camps typically look for activity leaders who are skilled in their activity and confident that they can help campers develop as well. More often than not, these camps will be privately owned and operated.
Special Needs Camps
Working a special needs camp is one of the most rewarding job roles you can ever have.
Every camper deserves the opportunity to experience the magic of camp, regardless of ability. Special needs camps cater specifically for this, and they look for staff who are searching for a much more rewarding role.
