Yes. When you apply, you can share your preferences for the type of camp you’d like to work at, whether that’s a traditional camp, a specialist one, or something else. We’ll match you with a camp that fits your skills and interests, but being open to different types of camps gives you more opportunities.

Not always. Some roles (like coaching a sport or teaching music) may require a background in that activity, while others just need passion and enthusiasm. Camp Directors look for energy, friendliness, and the ability to work with kids as much as technical expertise.

Yes. Many faith-based camps welcome staff from all backgrounds. You don’t always need to share the same beliefs, but you should be respectful of the camp’s values and be open to working in an environment where faith is part of daily life.
