Opportunities in Summer Camps Careers

I had an email which was asking about the possibility of using summer camp job experience as a stepping stone to a full time, year round career in the summer camp field. The answer is yes there are careers in many capacities dealing with summer camps and my recommendation would be to use the American Camp Association Jobs website where you can post your resume, sign up for the email job alerts, find out about local summer camp job fairs and much more relevant data related to the summer camp career path.

You will also find information here as to what employers are looking for in their summer camp staff as well as educational options directly related to summer camp for positions such as:

Camp Administration
Environmental Education
Experiential Education
Leisure/Recreation Program Delivery
