Staff Application

We will begin interviewing in January, after we know which positions will be open. We will continue interviewing until all of the positions are full. Submitting an application does not guarantee that you will be called for an interview. Generally, we are able to let you know shortly after your interview whether or not we will be offering you a position. If you are hired, we will send you a contract, which must be returned to us within two weeks.

Yes, it is important that you are able to commit to the entire seven weeks.

You need to complete the application and have two references submitted to us. When that information is submitted, and if we have a position available, we will email you to schedule an interview with the Camp Director.

Paychecks are given out every two weeks.

We require you to have two written references. It is best that they come from recent employers. If no one is available, then a coach, teacher, or supervisor from a volunteer experience will be fine. Family members cannot be a reference. The reference forms will be emailed directly upon completion of an online application. You may also download and have reference forms sent directly to Green Acres. It is important that you arrange for the references to be turned in. Once we have your completed application and both references, and if there is a position available, we will contact you to arrange an interview.

It is your responsibility to get two written/email references and to follow up with the camp office to see that we have received them.

All Junior Camp staff members are required to be in the water swimming with campers on a daily basis. If you are unable to swim for medical reasons, you must bring in a doctor’s note. All Junior and Senior Camp counselors must pass the Green Acres Camp swim test.

We have about 90 counselors for 300 campers.

Yes, the pre-camp orientation is required for all counselors. It is an important planning time, as well as a valuable time to share experiences and get to know one another.
