Summer Staff at Camp Stevens lead youth on unforgettable adventures through our 256 acres of oak and pine woodland, gardens, trails, buildings, and more. When not working directly with youth, camp staff support operations like trail patrol, kitchen help, garden, and light maintenance. There's a lot more information about who we are and what we do on our website but here are some important things to note:
- Camp Stevens provides full food and lodging benefit: Meals in the dining hall and full access to camp pantry, fridge, coffee, tea, paper goods, housewares, etc. Our food is local, garden-grown, and mostly organic... also it's delicious.
- Applicants belonging to underrepresented/marginalized groups can apply for additional grant funding of up to $1000 per summer.
- Paid trainings are provided including First Aid/CPR, Lifeguarding, Archery, Belaying, Youth Development, Conflict Resolution, Restorative Justice, Diversity/Equity/Inclusion, Program Development, etc.
- The minimum commitment is June 9 - August 3rd. There are options to extend later in the summer, into fall or through to the following summer.
- Housing ranges from in cabin with campers to dorm-style depending on your role and needs.
- Our summer staff have a great deal of trust and autonomy built into their jobs: you're not a babysitter doing prepackaged crafts... you're the leader of a team whose mission is to create an unforgettable week of outdoor adventure for the youth in your care.
- We are affiliated with the Episcopal Church - don't let that stop you! There is no faith requirement to work at Camp Stevens and the Episcopal Church is welcoming of all people (google it!). You are welcome here as your whole self.
- 18+ Required, 21+ Preferred
