Summer Job Opportunities
SUMMER CAMP STAFF – COME MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
Are you tired of doing the same old thing every summer? Did you know that the Hawk Mountain Council operates two Scout camps at Hawk Mountain Scout Reservation including Cub Scout, Scouts BSA, and high adventure programs?
Each of these offers opportunities for a variety of summer camp staff jobs. Most Scout camp counselors are at least 16 years of age, but the Scouts BSA and Cub Scout camps have a limited number of jobs for 15-year-olds with previous Senior Leadership Program (counselor in training program) experience.
The Hawk Mountain Council, BSA is an equal opportunity employer that hires females and males, as well as people of all ages and ethnic groups, diverse cultures and mixed abilities. No previous Scouting experience is necessary.
