Locations

Experience a different way of life in one of our 700 camps this summer.

At the end of camp, you have four weeks to travel and explore across America.

Salaries

While working at summer camp, your food and accommodation are all covered.

Support staff can earn a minimum of $1,300 for their time at camp.

To discover more about salaries you can find out more here.

Accommodation

All of your accommodation, food and drink is covered while you are working at camp. This means you will have no outgoings during your stay.

Support staff typically bunk with fellow support staff in separate cabins from the campers as you will operate on a separate schedule.

YOUR BEST SUPPORTING ROLE YET

Support Staff Jobs at Camp

USA Summer Camp has hundreds of amazing support staff roles available at summer camp.  You can work in the summer camp office helping to run camp, within the maintenance department helping to make sure camp looks incredible or helping out with the housekeeping and laundry. There’s an important job for you at camp.

A lot goes into making the summer run as smooth as it can and support staff are essential for both campers and camp counselors.  You help make camp tick!

As support staff, you’ll have a more behind the scenes role which is ideal if you don’t think you would suit a Camp Counselor role.

A Typical Day at Summer Camp

A typical day at camp will depend on the type of support job you’re employed in. Whatever your job, you’ll be given full training when you arrive at camp so you’ll get to know the ropes quickly.

Unlike Counselors, you won’t be working with the campers directly, but you’ll still be working around them. Support staff typically get more downtime during the day than counselors and usually live in separate accommodation.

Being the backbone of camp means that support staff often make a higher salary which means more money for travelling!
