Girl Scouts of Ohio's Heartland is looking for seasonal camp staff for each of its two camp locations: Camp Molly Lauman in Lucasville, OH (Scioto County), and Camp Wakatomika in Fallsburg, OH (Licking County). In order to work at camp you must:
- Be at least 18 years of age.
- Commit to the entire season (see dates below).
- Believe girls should be given opportunities to build self-confidence.
- Enjoy working with girls age 5-17.
- Be comfortable in the outdoors.
- Know how to plan activities utilizing girls' input.
- Accept the Girl Scout philosophy and ideals.
- Be willing to live on-site while camp is in session, generally Sunday through Friday.
- Take job responsibilities and policies seriously.
- Be flexible, enthusiastic, and FUN!
A summer working at camp can be one of the most rewarding experiences of your life. Camp will challenge you physically, mentally, and emotionally, but will give you a resume-building experience that you will remember for many years. You will have the opportunity to work with other staff from around the country and around the world. Additionally, you can "unplug" a little from the modern, technological world.
Summer camp employment is also a terrific way to save money for college. First year staff typically are paid a weekly salary of $225/week, plus room and board are provided. Since you can live on-site for much of the summer, it eliminates the need to pay for your daily gas, food, and errands. Our summer schedule is built to fit in nicely with most college schedules, and we can be somewhat flexible with the start date if the two do overlap a few days.
