Interested in Working at Summer Camp?

Spend your summer making a difference, building leadership skills, and creating unforgettable memories for local youth!

Each summer, KGB Parks & Recreation hires enthusiastic, responsible staff to help lead activities, supervise campers, and create a fun and safe environment. Camp staff help organize games, crafts, outdoor adventures, field trips, and special spirit days while building strong connections with campers and fellow staff.

Working at Summer Camp is a great opportunity to:

  • Gain leadership and teamwork experience
  • Build communication and problem-solving skills
  • Work in a fun, active environment
  • Make a positive impact on youth in our community
  • Develop experience that looks great on college or job applications

Summer Camp typically has 2–3 Camp Leaders and several Camp Counselors working together to provide a safe and engaging experience for all campers.

Staff Training

All Summer Camp staff participate in a week-long training before camp begins. During this time, staff learn everything they need to know to help create a fun, safe, and supportive camp environment.

Training includes:

  • Safety procedures and camp policies
  • Scenario-based training to prepare for real camp situations
  • Team-building and staff bonding activities
  • Activity planning and camper engagement
  • CPR/AED training

Our goal is to make sure every staff member feels confident, prepared, and supported before campers arrive.

Many staff members also have opportunities to continue working during the school year, assisting with Parks & Recreation programs and events while earning extra income.
