In addition to a directory of summer camps, the Camp Channel’s Job Board contains thousands of summer camp staff positions available across the country.

While most camps do typically have openings for “traditional” camp counselor positions, the fact of the matter is that most summer camps require a wide variety of qualified personnel to operate and function effectively.

In addition to camp staff who are skilled in a particular activity, most camps require counselors who are certified in various aspects of their summer program offerings such as: Lifeguards & WSI, Equestrian and Horseback, SCUBA, Tennis, Golf, Registered Nurses & Doctors, CPR, EMT, Wilderness First Aid and Responders, etc.

Many summer camps also need to fill kitchen staff, maintenance positions, and office staff to some degree or another.

The Camp Channel is excited to announce the official launch of CampRentalChannel.com: a website dedicated almost entirely to summer camp rentals and leases. Feel free to search or browse our wide and growing list of rental camp opportunities at:

http://www.camprentalchannel.com

Rent or lease a summer camp for large groups, parties, company outings, programs, retreats, weddings, family reunions, picnics, etc. Many summer camps offer facilities suited for relatively large groups of people for dining, lodging, and other activities. Typically located in a remote natural environment, summer camps can provide a tranquil, yet dynamic setting to facilitate group interaction or simply a great place to relax.

Some camps offer long term lease arrangements if you are a director seeking suitable summer camp facilities.
