We pay the best salaries to recruit the best staff! Nothing is more important than our staff and we know it. If you are a hard working individual who enjoys children, you may be just the person we're searching for. Staff members must be able to put kids first at all times. It is also essential that staff members be strong role models for our campers. And because we're working with kids, we have strict policies in many areas including alcohol, smoking, curfew, etc. While it is preferable that our staff members have some experience working with children, this is not a prerequisite. Many program areas require skills and certifications to safely operate and this is a priority. Click here for a list of jobs currently available.

These include movie theaters, restaurants, miniature golf, regulation golf, white-water rafting, shopping malls, and a variety of entertainment that can be found in the nearby towns of Honesdale, Hancock, Scranton and Binghamton. We're also only about 2.5 hours from New York City which is a trip many of our out-of-state staff members have enjoyed.

Transportation Info

In addition to the summer salary, staff members receive a travel allowance to offset traveling expenses. This amount is determined by the distence and method traveled.

Staff members with vehicles are welcome to bring them to camp. On premises parking is available. Car pooling on nights and days off is common so a vehicle in camp is not necessary. Most staff members arrive at camp by car. We can put you in touch with other staff members from your area who will be driving to camp for purposes of carpooling.

Some staff members fly to camp. We have camp vans scheduled to pick up/drop off staff at the Scranton/Wilkes Barre Airport in Avoca as well as the Greyhound Bus Station in Scranton at the beginning and end of camp. A number of our overseas staff members fly into Newark Airport in New Jersey and we have a pickup scheduled at this airport at the beginning of camp. Click here for more details.
