Are you looking for a fun job exercising your creative muscles and spending time outside? Then Camp Pa-qua-tuck, a camp for individuals with disabilities, is looking for you!

 

How has the last year been for you? Boring? In front of a screen? Like life is on an endless, dull repeat? If that sounds familiar, then a job at camp is just what you need!

 

According to a report from the American Camping Association (ACA) in 2016, over 1.5 million people work at summer camp every year. That means that camps are clearly doing something right to attract so many people. That figure is even more impressive when you realize that many of those staff come back for more than one summer to do it all over again.

We have both seasonal and year-round positions and we are hiring!

Why Camp Pa-Qua-Tuck?

It truly takes a community to change the world.  We’re proud to be a place where camp is for every one.  We provide an experience that feeds your soul, opens your mind and enhances everyone’s self-confidence.
