Senior Operations Manager
I’ve been to camp for 5 summers and absolutely loved my experience. I worked in different roles and loved working with kids of different ages and with my fellow staff. The connections and memories you get to make are incredible.
Anna

I spent an amazing summer at JCC Camp Chi in Wisconsin back in 2019. I was a High Ropes instructor and SIT girls counsellor and I loved my time there!
