I worked two months at a sleepaway camp back in 2012, so if anyone has any questions about the counselor end of it I'd be happy to answer.

Raymn posted:The American Camping Association has an email list where camps post their open positions for jobs that require experience or a specific skill set. The community is also very very close knit (both regionally and nationally) so if there is an open position, friends let other friends know. You'll also have staff that were campers, became CITs, became seasonal staff, and then got hired on full time. Some colleges have outdoor education programs that bigger camps will recruit directly from at yearly job fairs. I saw a classified ad in my college newspaper (like five states away from where the camp is), applied and got hired over the phone.

Raymn posted:We never hired anyone sight unseen but we definitely went to summer camp specific job fairs and posted fliers at the local colleges. Our seasonal staff was usually only about 30 so we tended to not go far but larger camps would need to easily. My director would hit a few states around Arizona when she worked out there. I would say my camp had a much more lax policy on hiring unseen, since at least half our counsellors were British
